An Ausbeutetaler — literally a "yield thaler" — was struck from silver mined directly from a ruler's own territorial mines, and the designation was a deliberate political statement about resource sovereignty. Charles Frederick of Württemberg held the duchy only briefly before dying in 1744, making his mining issues a short window of production. The specific mines credited for this striking were the silver workings of the Württemberg ore districts, a source already in decline by the mid-eighteenth century.
