Only the right to mint representative coins was left, and the bishop took advantage of it. As a result of the Silesian Wars and the annexation of most of Silesia by Prussia, episcopal power was significantly limited. After secularization in 1810, the bishops lost all their landed estates and all secular prerogatives, including the right to mint coins in the lost area of the Duchy of Prussia. Bishop Joseph von Hohenlohe-Bartenstein (1795–1817) was the last who, as Prince of Neisse, issued his own coins. In the following centuries, issues of bishop's coins were limited only to medallion issues.
