| Aanvullende informatie |
Bavaria's transition from Electorate to Kingdom in 1806 makes these 1803–1804 kreuzers among the last coins issued under Maximilian IV Joseph's electoral title — within two years, Napoleon's reorganization of German territories via the Confederation of the Rhine elevated him to King Maximilian I. The timing of this issue places it squarely within that political upheaval, struck while French alliance was actively reshaping Bavarian sovereignty and borders.
The billon composition at roughly 18.7% silver reflects the chronic small-change shortage afflicting German states in this period, a problem that would persist well past unification.
