Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Pfennig 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. Despite these challenges, the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was able to maintain its independence and issue its own coins, such as the 1 Pfennig, which was an important symbol of the region's economic and political sovereignty.
