Interesting 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 placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin, signifying the connection between the ruling family and the coin's issuance.
