Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Charles Theodore (Konventionstaler) 1764 coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of the Palatinate and a member of the House of Wittelsbach. At the time, the Palatinate was a region in the Holy Roman Empire, and Charles Theodore was one of the most powerful men in the Empire. The coin was minted as a way to promote Charles Theodore's power and influence, and it features an image of him on one side and the coat of arms of the Palatinate on the other. Despite its historical significance, the coin is still relatively affordable for collectors, with prices ranging from a few hundred to a few thousand dollars depending on its condition and rarity.
