Interesting fact

The ½ Kreuzer coin was minted during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1758 to 1764. The coin features an image of Charles Theodor on one side and the Palatinate coat of arms on the other. What's interesting is that the coin was minted in silver, which was a rare and valuable metal at the time. This made the coin a symbol of wealth and power, and it was likely used for large transactions or as a store of value.
