I wondered if anyone can help me place this coin. It is supposed to be a 1 kreuzer from "Pfalz", which also seems consistent with its design, but I cannot find it in Krause. There are several Pfalzes listed - Pfalz-Birkenfeld-Zweibrucken, Pfalz-Neuburg and Pfalz-Sulzbach. But none of these have listed a 1 kreuzer 1726. One can read "Chur Pfalz" on the coin but there is no state with this name (or anything else beginning with "Chur") in Krause.

Sure about the date? Krause does list something looking like this (the photo isn't very clear) as 1 kr. Pfalz-Neuburg (dates: 1723GW, 1725GW, 1728GW), KM#72.

I am pretty sure about the date. I suppose it could still be this type, and that Krause just missed out a year (or two). This would currently be my best guess. But from the picture I do not really feel sure. Hopefully someone here can say for certain.

The only Chur I know is a Swiss region.

"Churpfalz", spelled "Kurpfalz" in modern German, was one of the names of the County Palatinate, the land and title held by the senior branch of the family. From 1685, this senior branch was Pfalz-Neuburg, and it is under this latter name your coin is found. The one DL20K pictured above (from Krause) is the same type.

As for the date, I would assume it to be 1723; the last digit looks more like a 3 than an 8.
