Comment
Slg. Noss 292Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, made of Silver and minted in 1657, is that it features an image of Charles Louis, the son of Frederick V, Elector Palatine, who was only 11 years old at the time of minting. This makes it a unique and rare example of a coin featuring a minor as the central figure. Additionally, the coin's design includes the inscription "VICARIAT" which refers to the regency of Charles Louis' uncle, Charles Gustavus, who ruled in his stead until he came of age. This coin is a valuable piece of history for numismatists and collectors alike, offering a glimpse into the political and social climate of the Palatinate during the 17th century.
