Comment
Slg. Noss 300Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Gulden - Charles Louis 1660-1661 from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Silver weighing 19.26g is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Thirty Years War had recently ended, and the Palatinate was struggling to rebuild and maintain its independence. Despite these challenges, the coinage of the region remained consistent and of high quality, with the 1 Gulden coin being a prime example. Its design features Charles Louis, the Elector Palatine, on one side and the Palatinate coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and weight were carefully regulated, ensuring its value and authenticity. This coin is a testament to the resilience and craftsmanship of the people of the Palatinate during a difficult period in history.
