| Additional information |
Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen was among the most fragmented of the Imperial County territories, a relic of the Holy Roman Empire's bewildering habit of subdividing dynastic holdings across generations. By 1785, the county retained minting rights more as a point of feudal pride than economic necessity — the volume of coinage produced was modest, and regional circulation was quickly absorbed into the broader South German monetary orbit dominated by larger neighbors.
KM#61 is not a common encounter. Louis Frederick Charles held the county until its mediatization under Napoleonic reorganization, making the late imperial period issues the final chapter of an independent minting authority that dissolved within two decades of this strike.
