Comment
Slg. Noss 332Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate (German States) is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "I.W." (for Johann Wilhelm, the ruler at the time) surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was used on several coins during John William's reign and is a distinctive feature of his coinage.
