| Additional information |
Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was one of the smaller imperial counties of the Holy Roman Empire, holding the right to strike its own coinage — a privilege jealously maintained by even the most minor German princes as a mark of sovereign status within the imperial hierarchy. Charles Thomas ruled from 1735 until his death in 1789, long enough to see the Empire's fragmentation accelerate under Josephine reform pressure. Local copper pfennig issues from counties this small rarely circulated beyond the immediate territory, which is precisely why survivors tend to appear in better preservation than their peasant-economy origins would suggest.
