Interesting fact

The Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort 1 Pfenning coin from 1804 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and economic change in Germany. The Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was a small state within the German Confederation, and the coin was minted during a period of economic and political upheaval, including the Napoleonic Wars and the subsequent Congress of Vienna, which reshaped the political landscape of Europe. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort and the wider German region.
