Comment
Stuttgart mintInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Eugen, the ruler of the duchy at the time, on one side, and an image of the Württemberg coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted in 1759 and was made of silver, which was a valuable and durable material at the time. The use of silver in coinage was a common practice in many parts of Europe during this period, as it was seen as a symbol of wealth and prosperity.
