Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Principality of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort is that it features an image of Charles Thomas, the reigning prince at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the principality on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe, and its design reflects the influences of the Enlightenment and the rise of modern nation-states.
