Comment
Binder 25, Slg. Schloßb. 1717Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Ducat (Klippe; Silver pattern strike; New year) ND (1750) from City of Stuttgart (German States) made of Silver weighing 2.08 g is that it features a unique design that was only used for a short period of time. The coin's obverse features a portrait of Duke Carl Eugen of Württemberg, while the reverse depicts the coat of arms of the City of Stuttgart. The coin's design was created by the artist Johann Nepomuk Schwerdtle, who was a prominent medallist and engraver of the time. The coin's unique design and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
