Interesting fact

The 6 Kreuzers coin from the Electorate of Bavaria, minted during the reign of Maximilian III Joseph (1745-1767), was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a depiction of a famous Bavarian landmark, the Neuschwanstein Castle. The castle, which was built during the reign of Ludwig II in the late 19th century, has since become a popular tourist attraction and a symbol of Bavarian culture and history.
