Comment
Slg. Noss 364Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Palatinate was a key region in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage of the time reflected the political and economic shifts that were taking place. The ½ Thaler coin, made of silver, was a widely used denomination and was minted during the reign of Charles Philip, who was the Vicariat of the Palatinate from 1740 to 1748. This coin is a valuable piece of history that provides insight into the economic and political climate of the time.
