Comment
Also listed in "Memmelsheimer" as M#2451Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kreuzers coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the region. The Palatinate was a key player in the Holy Roman Empire, and Charles Theodor, the ruler depicted on the coin, was a powerful leader who played a significant role in shaping the region's politics and economy during his reign. Despite being a standard circulation coin, the 2 Kreuzers coin is a valuable piece of history that offers a glimpse into the past of this fascinating region.
