Georg Gustav ruled Palatinate-Veldenz from 1592 until his death in 1605, presiding over a territory so financially marginal that bracteate-style schüsselpfennige — struck on thin, concave flans from a single die — remained the practical coinage of daily exchange long after most German territories had abandoned the technique. The type persisted in small, cash-strapped Rhine Palatinate holdings precisely because the tooling costs were negligible.
