Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 20 Kreuzers coin from the Duchy of Württemberg is that it features an image of Charles Eugene, the ruler of the duchy from 1737 to 1793, on one side, and the coat of arms of Württemberg on the other. This coin was minted in 1769 and was made of silver with a purity of .583, which is relatively high compared to other coins of its time. Additionally, it weighs 6.68 grams, which is a relatively small weight for a coin of its denomination.
