Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Albus - John William 1691 from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Silver weighing 0.8 g is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The Palatinate was a key player in the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage of the region was heavily influenced by the political and economic climate of the time. The Albus coin, in particular, was minted during the reign of John William, who was the Elector Palatine from 1690 to 1716. This was a period of significant economic growth and cultural development in the region, and the Albus coin reflects this, with its high silver content and detailed design.
