Additional information

The County of Hohnstein, wedged into the southern Harz region, was already in terminal financial and political decline through the mid-sixteenth century. The counts were chronically indebted, and the county was eventually absorbed by Saxony following the extinction of the male line — making this small silver issue one of the final monetary assertions of a dynasty running out of time and credit simultaneously.
