Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, made of Silver and issued in 1621 during the reign of Frederick V, is that it features an image of the Elector himself on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Palatinate. This coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in trade, and its design was meant to symbolize the power and authority of the Elector and the Palatinate region.
