Comment
Minted from silver found at Grube WildbergInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅔ Thaler - Charles Theodore (Ausbeutegulden) 1751-1755 from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of the Palatinate and also the King of Bavaria. At the time, the Palatinate was facing economic challenges, including a large national debt and a decline in trade. The minting of this coin was likely an attempt to address these issues by increasing the circulation of silver currency and stimulating economic activity. Despite these efforts, the coin is now a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few examples known to exist.
