| Additional information |
Wallmoden-Gimborn was one of the smallest and most obscure entities in the late Holy Roman Empire, elevated to a county only in 1782 when Johann Ludwig von Wallmoden-Gimborn — an illegitimate son of George II of Great Britain — received the title from Joseph II. This 1802 ducat was struck just three years before the Confederation of the Rhine dissolved what remained of imperial coinage rights, making the entire output of this county among the most limited of any German territorial issue. Few entities with the legal right to strike gold actually exercised it this late.
