Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort is that it features an image of Charles Thomas, the reigning prince at the time of its minting in 1769. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during Charles Thomas' rule, which lasted from 1764 to 1789, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
