Francis of Hatzfeld-Gleichen ruled a small Franconian county whose minting rights were perpetually contested — minor imperial counts of this rank frequently issued small-denomination silver as much to assert sovereign prerogative as to meet any genuine commercial need. The 1684 date places this squarely in the post-Westphalian period when the Holy Roman Empire's fragmented coinage landscape saw hundreds of petty lords exercising privileges that larger territories routinely tried to suppress.
KM#5 suggests a short series. Hatzfeld issues of this period rarely appear in trade.
