Charles Theodore's hold on Bavaria was politically awkward from the start — he inherited the electorate in 1777 as a childless Wittelsbach collateral heir, having spent his life ruling the Rhineland Palatinate, and never particularly wanted Munich. His 1792 coinage falls squarely in the period when revolutionary France was dismantling the old order on his western border; French forces would occupy parts of the left bank of the Rhine that same year. The Konventionstaler standard itself dated to the 1753 Munich Convention, which Bavaria and Austria adopted to unify their silver coinage at 10 thalers to the Cologne mark.
