Beschrijving voorzijde Draped and armored bust of Prince Louis Frederick Charles facing right, depicted in late Baroque portrait style with powdered wig and elaborate lace cravat. An Order cross is prominently displayed at the lower truncation of the bust. The effigy is rendered in high relief with fine detail to the hair, armor, and decorative elements. The circumferential Latin legend runs along the beaded border, identifying the ruler and his titles. The overall composition is characteristic of late 18th-century German princely coinage.

Beschrijving keerzijde The reverse displays a large, elaborately helmeted and crowned coat of arms of the House of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, supported on either side by rampant lions standing within a crowned and draped mantle. Below the central shield, an Order cross is suspended from a decorative belt bearing the motto. The date 1785 is divided by the mintmaster's initials within the legend. The reverse legend denotes the coin's silver fineness standard according to the Conventions-Münzfuss.

Aanvullende informatie

Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen was one of the smaller subdivisions of the fragmented Hohenlohe dynastic holdings in Franconia — a house so repeatedly partitioned among heirs that by the late 18th century it had splintered into nearly a dozen separate lines, each technically sovereign enough to strike coin. The Conventionsthaler standard itself had been fixed by the Munich Convention of 1753, binding most of the Holy Roman Empire's states to a common silver weight norm, which is the only reason a territory this minor could produce a coin accepted in broader circulation.

Louis Frederick Charles ruled as count until Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen was mediatized under Napoleonic reorganization in 1806, ending the line's coining privileges entirely. This 1785 issue is among the later emissions from the county.
