Comment
Slg. Noss 333Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, minted in 1711 during the reign of John William, is notable for its unique design. The coin features an image of the Elector himself on one side, while the other side bears the coat of arms of the Palatinate. This design was a departure from the traditional design used by the Palatinate, which typically featured the coat of arms on both sides of the coin. The use of the Elector's image on the coin was a symbol of his authority and power, and it marked a shift towards more personalized coinage in the region.
