Comment
Slg. Noss 232Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, made of Silver, is that it features an image of Frederick III, who was the Elector Palatine at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Palatinate on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change in the region, as the Holy Roman Empire was beginning to dissolve and the concept of modern nation-states was starting to take shape. The coin's design reflects this shift, as it features both the traditional symbols of the Palatinate and the image of Frederick III, who was seen as a powerful and influential leader in the region.
