Comment
Slg. Noss II 378Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Zweibrücken is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Wittelsbach, the ruling dynasty of the Palatinate region. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, surrounded by the inscription "S.R.I. Chur-Pfalz Thaler" (Holy Roman Imperial Chamber Thaler). This design element sets the coin apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
