Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Kreuzer coin from the Electors of the Palatinate is that it was minted during the reign of Charles Theodor, who was the last Elector of the Palatinate before the region was annexed by Bavaria in 1777. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during that time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
