Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The Thaler was a widely used denomination during the Renaissance period, and the County of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was a small but influential state in the German States. The coin's design, featuring an image of John Theodore, the ruling count at the time, and the coat of arms of the county, reflects the political and cultural influences of the region during that era.
