| Additional information |
John William, Elector Palatine and Duke of Jülich-Berg, ruled a territorially fragmented mess of Rhenish holdings that made consistent coinage administration genuinely difficult. By 1710, he was already gravely ill — he died in 1716 — and much of the administrative machinery operated under delegated authority. The ⅙ Thaler denomination itself occupied an awkward position in the Holy Roman coinage system, struck to satisfy local transactional needs that neither the larger Thaler nor smaller Kreuzer-based coins addressed cleanly.
KM#139 is sparsely documented in terms of mintage figures, a gap typical of smaller Rhenish territorial issues from this period.
