Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Oehringen 1697-GFN 4 kreuzer
This specimen was lot 1301 in SINCONA Auction 97 (Zürich, May 2025), where it sold for 100 CHF (about US$145 including buyers' fees). The catalog description[1] noted,
"DEUTSCHLAND Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, Grafschaft, Johann Friedrich I. 1641-1702. Batzen (4 Kreuzer) 1697, Nürnberg. Münzmeister Georg Friedrich Nürnberger. Vorzüglich-FDC. (Germany, county of Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Öhringen, John Frederick I, 1641-1702, batzen or four kreuzer of 1697, Nuremberg mint. About Uncirculated.)"
Hohenlohe lies in Swabia between Wurttemberg and Ansbach and hardly seems worth the splintering it experienced in the seventeenth century. Several of the counts issued joint coinage, complicating matters.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
