Only the grand-nephew of Prince Karl, Prince Ludwig (1753-1806, reigned from 1788), became the second and last mintmaster of the family. He was not admitted to the Order of the Fleece and minted from 1788-1792.

Franz Gundacker (1731-1807) Prince since 1788 Of the branched family, which achieved high honours and dignities in imperial service from the 17th century onwards, only the Weikard line is relevant to the history of coins, which came from its Italian ancestral seat to Austria and Bohemia in 1693 in order to take over the inheritance of the extinct Ascine line, above all the Opocno dominion in the Königgrätz district, which was acquired by the latter in 1636 and endowed as a family fideicommissum. The brothers Hieronymus († 1726) and Rudolf from this line were raised to the rank of imperial counts in 1724. The son of the former, Count Rudolf (1706-88), who became Imperial Vice-Chancellor as early as 1737 and was given a seat and a vote in the Swabian Imperial College of Counts, received the imperial princely dignity on the occasion of the royal coronation of Joseph II, together with Counts Johann Josef Khevenhüller and Karl Batthyáni, and in connection with the princely charter of 29 December 1763 also the right to mint coins. Prince Rudolf no longer made use of this, but only his son Prince Franz Gundacker (*1731, Prince since 1788, †1807), who had been a knight of the Order of the Golden Fleece since 1772 and who, among other dignities, also received his father's successorship in the Imperial Vice-Chancellorship, which he held until the end of the Empire.

Zdenko Adalbert (1568-1628) 1623 1st Prince of Lobkowitz Zdenko Adalbert (*1568) was an opponent of the Utraquists (moderate Hussites) and, as supreme chancellor of Bohemia, a staunch defender of the imperial and ecclesiastical cause. He was therefore banished and dispossessed by the Bohemian estates. After the victory of Emperor Ferdinand II, however, the Prince was raised to the rank of Imperial Prince for himself and his descendants in 1624 in recognition of his loyal and successful services. At the same time he received the mint right, which he did not exercise.

Johann Franz Johann Franz (*1609 †1663) lost his father Paul Sixtus at the age of 11 and was educated at the Viennese court together with the future Emperor Ferdinand III. When he received the Order of the Fleece in 1653, he had already stopped minting in 1639.

Franz Eusebius Franz Eusebius (†1728) was the son of Johann Franz. His minting activity no longer shows the "monetary character" of his predecessors [Holzmair]. It took place on a limited scale as with the later Austrian New Princes. He was not awarded the Order of the Fleece.

When Joseph I ascended the throne in 1705, he made his confidant Johann Leopold Lord Chamberlain and appointed him, together with Prince Eugene, to the Geheime Konferenz (Secret Session), the most important governmental body. In 1711, a few weeks before his untimely death, the Emperor elevated him to the rank of Imperial Prince. By 1712 he had the Palais Trautson built as a sign of his new dignity. Emperor Charles VI again appointed him Lord Chamberlain in 1721.
