Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Guldengroschen 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 added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the Guldengroschen, and its inclusion on this particular coin was likely done to signify the coin's issuance by the Electors of the Palatinate.
