<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 4813140, member: 89314&quot;]Here is a Pfalz Taler of the Winter King struck in Heidelberg in 1621. Although&nbsp; Friedrich&#039;s&nbsp; brief reign had ended with his defeat by Imperial forces at the Battle of White Mountain on 8 November 1620 and he had had to flee Bohemia, this coin still has the title REX BOHEMIAE and the Bohemian lion coat of arms. </p><p>&nbsp; The Imperial forces then invaded Frederick&#039;s Palatine lands and he had to flee to his uncle Prince Maurice, Stadtholder of the Dutch Republic in 1622. An Imperial edict formally deprived him of the Palatinate in 1623. He lived the rest of his life in exile with his wife and family, mostly at The Hague, and died in Mainz in 1632.</p><p><br /></p><p>Germany PFALZ&nbsp; Friedrich V&nbsp; Reichstaler 1621</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1167317[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1167318[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
