Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Palatinate, which was a powerful and influential state in the Holy Roman Empire at the time. This shield is placed above the crown on the obverse side of the coin, and it serves as a symbol of the coin's origin and authenticity.
