| Additional information |
Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was one of the more obscure of the Franconian comital territories — a Catholic line of the Löwenstein-Wertheim dynasty that had split from its Protestant Freudenberg cousins in the seventeenth century. Charles Thomas ruled from 1735 until his death in 1789, a reign long enough to produce thalers but too minor to attract much contemporary notice. The short three-year window of this issue, 1767–1769, likely reflects a specific fiscal or ceremonial occasion rather than routine coinage, as such small counties rarely maintained continuous thaler production.
