| Additional information |
Hohnstein's coinage rights were a persistent source of friction with neighboring Saxon authorities throughout the sixteenth century, and small billon issues like this Dreier represent the county exercising those rights at the margins of what imperial monetary ordinances permitted. The 1/84 Thaler denomination placed it within the Reichsmünzordnung framework established at Augsburg in 1559, but enforcement at the county level was irregular at best.
The county itself was absorbed into Electoral Saxony in 1593, making 1572 relatively late in its independent minting history.
