Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This conflict had a profound impact on the German states, including the County of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort, where this coin was minted. Despite the challenges of war, the county was able to produce a coin that has survived to this day, providing a glimpse into the economic and political conditions of the time.
