Charles Theodore's hold on the Palatinate electorate by the early 1790s was precarious in every sense. French Revolutionary forces crossed the Rhine in late 1792 and again in 1794, effectively ending electoral administration on the left bank. This 1 Kreuzer issue falls directly within that collapse — coins struck in 1794–95 were produced as French military pressure rendered normal civil governance impossible, making the run exceptionally short and the surviving population correspondingly thin.
