Charles Theodore issued this coin under the vicariate authority he exercised during the interregnum following the death of Emperor Joseph II in 1790. The Holy Roman Empire's vicariate system granted certain princes the right to govern imperial functions and mint coins in the emperor's absence — a medieval constitutional mechanism still functioning, improbably, on the eve of the French Revolution. Bavaria and the Palatinate held this right in the Rhenish and Swabian circles.
Leopold II's election and coronation later in 1790 ended the vicariate period, making this a genuinely short production window.
