| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Duke Frederick Charles of Württemberg facing right, wearing a voluminous curled periwig falling to the shoulders and armored cuirass with decorative brooch at the neckline, rendered in high relief in the late Baroque style. The portrait is boldly modelled with finely detailed hair curls and facial features, occupying the majority of the coin's field. A beaded border frames the entire obverse. The Latin legend encircles the effigy, reading FRID CAROL D G DUX WIRT AD, abbreviated from Fridericus Carolus Dei Gratia Dux Württemberg et Teck. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Frederick Charles ruled Württemberg as a secondary duke under the partition arrangements that fragmented the duchy through much of the seventeenth century, governing Württemberg-Winnental from 1677 until his death in 1698. His gold coinage was struck at a moment when the duchy's finances were strained by the broader devastation of Louis XIV's Rhine campaigns — the French armies burned Württemberg towns systematically during the 1688 invasion, which likely interrupted or curtailed production at the tail end of this issue's striking window.
