Comment
Kallmünz mintInteresting fact
The obverse side of the coin features an image of Wolfgang William, the Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg, dressed in elaborate attire and holding a scepter. The reverse side of the coin depicts the coat of arms of the Palatinate-Neuburg family, surrounded by the inscription "WOLFGANG WILHELM HERTZOG ZU PFALZ-NEUBURG" (Wolfgang Wilhelm, Duke of Palatinate-Neuburg). This coin is notable not only for its intricate design and craftsmanship but also for its historical significance. The Duchy of Palatinate-Neuburg was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coinage issued during Wolfgang William's reign (1614-1653) was an important symbol of the duchy's economic and political power. The 1 Thaler coin was a standard circulation coin during this time and was used for everyday transactions, making it a valuable piece of history for collectors and numismatists today.
