Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Carolin coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued in 1734, just a few years before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, which would have a profound impact on the German states and the rest of Europe. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and beauty, with its gold content and detailed design making it a valuable and sought-after collector's item to this day.
