Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Charles Theodor's reign was the first coin to feature the image of a German ruler since the days of the Holy Roman Empire. This was a significant departure from the previous coins of the Palatinate, which had typically featured religious symbols or the coat of arms of the local ruling family. The introduction of the ruler's image on the coin was a nod to the growing nationalism and centralization of power in Germany during the early 19th century.
