Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Conventionsthaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1773 to 1777. During his reign, the Palatinate was facing significant economic challenges, including a large national debt and a lack of resources. Despite these challenges, the Conventionsthaler coin was minted in silver (.833) and was widely used throughout the region. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of the Palatinate during a time of great change and upheaval.
