| Aanvullende informatie |
Louis the Pious (Ludwig der Fromme) ruled Württemberg from 1568 until his death in 1593, a reign defined more by religious orthodoxy and financial constraint than political ambition. The duchy had been formally restored to the Protestant faith under his predecessor, and Ludwig's coinage reflects the relative stability — and limited grandeur — of a mid-tier German territorial ruler navigating the confessional tensions of the post-Augsburg decades.
The Frühwald reference Fr#3550 places this among a well-documented but genuinely scarce group of Württemberg gold issues. Surviving examples appear with some frequency in German regional sales but rarely in quantity, suggesting modest original mintage rather than heavy attrition.
