Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Eugen 1744 coin from 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 1744 issue was a deliberate choice made by Charles Eugene, the Duke 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 significance to the coin, making it a particularly interesting piece for collectors and historians.
