Comment
Slg. Memmesheimer 2221Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, minted in 1587 during the reign of John Casimir, features an image of the Elector himself on one side and the Palatinate coat of arms on the other. This coin was significant because it was the first time that a German state had issued a standardized coin that was accepted across different regions, paving the way for the development of a standardized currency system in Germany.
