Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅙ Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the House of Württemberg, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier issues of the coin, and its inclusion on the 1758 issue was a deliberate choice made by Charles Eugen, the ruler of Württemberg at the time, to emphasize his family's connection to the region and its history. This small detail adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to an already beautiful and valuable coin.
