Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Palatinate, German States, minted during the reign of John William (1700-1702), was made of silver, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or insignia, the coin features a depiction of a palm tree, which was a symbol of peace and prosperity in the Palatinate region. This design was specifically chosen by John William to promote peace and unity within the region, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
