| Additional information |
Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was one of the smaller comital territories of the Holy Roman Empire, its minting rights perpetually contested and its output sparse enough that individual issues are often known from single-digit surviving examples. Charles Thomas ruled as count from 1735 until his death in 1789, and ducats struck under his authority were almost certainly produced for prestige and presentation rather than any practical monetary function — the county's economic weight was negligible against the larger Franconian coinage circulation.
The Wibel reference places this firmly within the specialized literature on Löwenstein issues, a series thin enough that Friedberg assigns it a single catalogue number.
