Comment
Albr. 269Interesting fact
The 4 Kreuzers coin from the County of Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Schilingfürst (German States) made of Silver features an image of Louis Gustav, the ruler of the county, on one side, and the coat of arms of the county on the other. The coat of arms includes a shield with three rows of five stars each, which symbolize the three main branches of the Hohenlohe family: Hohenlohe-Waldenburg, Hohenlohe-Schillingfürst, and Hohenlohe-Bartenstein. This design was used on many coins issued by the county during the 17th and 18th centuries, and it remains a distinctive feature of the coinage of this region.
