| Obverse description | Crowned quartered shield of arms occupying the central field, displaying the Hohenlohe coat of arms with lions passant and lozengy quarters rendered in relief. The crowned escutcheon is flanked by foliate decorative scrollwork on either side. The circumference of the coin is bounded by a milled or toothed border. The surrounding legend in Latin identifies the issuing count. No effigy of the ruler appears; the heraldic achievement serves as the principal design element. |

| Additional information |
Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingsfürst was among the smallest of the Holy Roman Empire's immediate territories — a county whose ruling line had fractured repeatedly through inheritance partitions across the seventeenth century. Louis Gustav ruled during a period when such micro-states were minting their own fractions largely to assert juridical independence rather than meet any genuine monetary demand. The 1/12 Thaler denomination placed it within the Zwoelfer system, a fractional standard that the Kreis assemblies had repeatedly tried to regulate without much success.
