Interesting fact
The 1 Carolin coin from the Duchy of Württemberg, issued during the reign of Eberhard Louis (1731-1732), is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold (.770) and weighed 9.7 grams. This is notable because gold coins were not commonly used in circulation at that time, especially in the German States. The fact that this coin was made of gold and had a relatively high weight suggests that it was a valuable and significant coin in its time.
