Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken (German States) made of Silver weighing 27.97 g, issued during the reign of Christian IV in 1759, features an interesting fact. The obverse side of the coin bears the inscription "CHRISTIANUS IV D G PALATINUS RHENANUS" which means "Christian IV, by the grace of God, Count Palatine of the Rhine". This inscription highlights the connection between the Duchy of Palatinate-Birkenfeld-Zweibrücken and the Holy Roman Empire, as the title of Count Palatine was associated with the Empire.
