Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Thaler - Charles Theodore (Konventionstaler) 1765-1771 from Electors of the Palatinate (Palatinate, German States) made of Silver is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodore, who was the Elector of the Palatinate and also the Duke of Bavaria. This was a time of great upheaval in Europe, with the Seven Years' War taking place and the Enlightenment movement gaining momentum.
