This specimen was lot 4281 in Künker sale 406 (Osnabruck, March 2024), where it sold for €90 (about US$118 including buyer's fees). The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, <blockquote>"''LÖWENSTEIN-WERTHEIM-ROCHEFORT, GRAFSCHAFT, Gemeinschaftsprägungen. 3 Kreuzer (Groschen) 1806. Sehr schön-vorzüglich.'' ([[German States, Lowenstein-Wertheim|county of Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort]], joint coinage, three kreuzer or groschen of 1806. Very fine to extremely fine.)"</blockquote> Löwenstein-Wertheim was a county of the Holy Roman Empire, part of the Franconian Circle. It was formed from the counties of Löwenstein (based in the town of Löwenstein) and Wertheim (based in the town of Wertheim am Main) and from 1488 until 1806 ruled by the House of Löwenstein-Wertheim who are morganatic descendants (and the most senior line) of the Palatinate branch of the House of Wittelsbach. Löwenstein-Wertheim-Virneburg was the Protestant branch and Löwenstein-Wertheim-Rochefort was the Catholic branch. They occasionally put aside their quarrels and issued joint coinage, as shown here. Löwenstein-Wertheim was mediatized in 1806 and the coinage ended.
