Comment
Slg. Noss 354Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the Palatinate region of Germany. The Electors of the Palatinate were powerful nobles who ruled the region and had the authority to mint their own coins. The Carolin coin was introduced during the reign of Charles Philip, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1735 to 1736. This coin was made of gold and had a value of ¼ Carolin, which was a significant amount at the time. Despite its value, the coin was still widely used in everyday transactions, reflecting the economic prosperity of the region during this period.
