Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Eugene, the ruler of the duchy from 1733 to 1780, on one side, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1744 and was made of silver, weighing 7.25 grams. It was a standard circulation coin during its time and was used for everyday transactions.
