Comment
Previously Pfalz-Sulzbach KM#148.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the Elector of the Palatinate from 1774 to 1777. During his reign, Charles Theodor implemented a number of economic reforms, including the introduction of a new currency system, which helped to stabilize the economy and promote trade in the region. The 5 Kreuzer coin was a key part of this new currency system, and it remains an important piece of numismatic history to this day.
