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 during the reign of Charles Alexander, who was the Duke of Württemberg from 1734 to 1736. During this period, the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved, and many German states, including Württemberg, gained greater autonomy. The coin's minting was likely a response to the changing economic and political landscape of the time, as it was designed to be a standardized form of currency that could be used throughout the region.
