Comment
Albr. 247eInteresting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Nine Years' War (1688-1697) and the War of the Spanish Succession (1701-1714). Despite the conflicts, the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, such as this 1⁄12 Thaler.
