Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles IV Theodore, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1748 to 1759. Despite being a relatively small denomination, the coin was made of billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper, indicating that it was still considered a valuable and important form of currency at the time. Additionally, the fact that it weighs 1.1 grams suggests that it was carefully crafted and had a high level of precision in its minting process.
