Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingsfürst was among the smallest of the Hohenlohe partition territories, a county whose entire monetary output across the eighteenth century amounts to little more than a curiosity for specialists in Holy Roman Empire coinage. Charles Albert ruled from 1764 until his death in 1806, when the county was mediatized under the Confederation of the Rhine — ending any independent minting authority permanently. Ducats of this small count are rarely encountered, the territory having neither the fiscal need nor the mint infrastructure to produce in meaningful volume.
