| Additional information |
Charles Alexander ruled Württemberg from 1733 until his sudden death in 1737, a reign defined by his conversion to Catholicism — remarkable for a Protestant duchy — and his deeply unpopular reliance on the financier Joseph Süß Oppenheimer, hanged within weeks of the duke's death. This tiny fractional issue falls squarely within that turbulent administration, a period when Württemberg's estates were in near-constant conflict with the duke over fiscal authority.
