Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate (German States) is that it features a unique double portrait of Charles Albert and Charles Philip, who were both Electors of the Palatinate at the time. This double portrait design was a departure from the traditional single-person portrait found on most coins, and it symbolized the unity and cooperation between the two Electors. Additionally, the coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material that was commonly used for coins during that time period.
