Interesting fact
The Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort 1 Pfenning coin from 1791 is interesting because it was issued during a time of great political and social change in Europe. The Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was a small state within the Holy Roman Empire, and the coin's issuance coincided with the French Revolution and the subsequent Napoleonic Wars. This period of upheaval had a profound impact on the German states, including the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort, and the coin serves as a tangible reminder of this tumultuous time in history.
