| Additional information |
Hohenzollern-Hechingen was one of the smallest sovereign states in the German Confederation, covering barely 140 square kilometers with a population under 20,000. Frederick William Constantin ruled this pocket principality until 1849, when mounting debt and the revolutionary pressures of 1848 forced his abdication and the voluntary mediatization of Hechingen into Prussia — ending the line's independent coinage permanently. These kreuzers, struck in the final years before that collapse, are among the last coins the principality ever produced.
