Comment
"W" is since 1767 the Mintletter for Wertheim.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Kreuzer coin from the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The late 18th century saw the rise of the Enlightenment and the French Revolution, which had a profound impact on the German states and their monetary systems. The coin's silver content and its relatively low denomination made it an important tool for everyday transactions, and its design reflects the artistic and cultural influences of the time.
