Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Pfennigs - Charles Thomas 1766 coin from the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort is that it features a unique design element. The coin's obverse side bears the image of a crowned eagle, which was a symbol of the Holy Roman Empire. This design choice was likely intended to emphasize the coin's connection to the larger political entity of which the Principality was a part.
