Interesting fact
The ½ Thaler coin from the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort, minted in 1789 during the reign of Constantine, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the initials "C" and "W" on either side, representing the names of the ruling princes, Constantine and Wilhelm. This coin was minted during a time of great change in Europe, as the French Revolution was underway, and the German states were experiencing political upheaval. Despite this, the coin remains a testament to the enduring legacy of the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort and its rich history.
