Comment
Slg.Noss 334Interesting fact
The 6 Albus coin from the Electors of the Palatinate, featuring John William 1700-1712, is interesting because it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in the German States. The Palatinate was a region in southwestern Germany that was heavily influenced by the Protestant Reformation and was a key player in the Thirty Years' War. The coin's silver content and relatively low denomination suggest that it was used for everyday transactions, and its design reflects the political and cultural values of the time.
