| Additional information |
Königsegg-Rothenfels was among the smallest sovereign entities in the Holy Roman Empire — a tiny county in Swabia whose minting rights were exercised only sporadically and whose entire gold coinage output across the eighteenth century amounts to a handful of identifiable pieces. Francis Hugo, Count of Königsegg-Rothenfels, struck this ducat under imperial minting privileges that were increasingly difficult for minor lords to justify as Habsburg centralization tightened. The Ebner reference places this among the rarest of all Swabian ducats, with surviving examples numbering in the single digits.
