Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1705-1750. The coin features an image of Charles Theodor on one side and the coat of arms of the Palatinate on the other. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Additionally, the weight of the coin, 1.8 grams, was a standard weight for coins of this denomination during the time.
