| Additional information |
Charles Rudolph administered Württemberg-Neuenstadt as a minor cadet line, never holding the ducal title himself. These quarter ducats were struck across just two years during his tenure, almost certainly as presentation or New Year's gift pieces — the fractional ducat in this weight class rarely entered ordinary commerce in any meaningful volume in the German states of this period.
