1 Kreuzer - Charles Albert

Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingsfürst was one of the more obscure subdivisions of the already fragmented Hohenlohe family holdings in Franconia — a county so small it survived largely through the protections of the Holy Roman Empire's constitutional structure rather than any economic or military weight of its own. Charles Albert ruled a territory measured in villages, yet retained the minting rights that imperial immediacy conferred. This kreuzer is essentially a byproduct of that legal privilege.

Billon issues of this type circulated alongside dozens of nearly identical small coins from neighboring Franconian lordships, making attribution in worn condition genuinely difficult.
