Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Gulden coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it features an image of Frederick IV, who was the Elector Palatine at the time of its minting in 1608. This coin was minted during a time of great political and religious upheaval in the region, as the Thirty Years' War was raging across Europe and the Protestant Reformation was gaining momentum. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Palatinate region and its rich history.
