| Additional information |
Württemberg-Oels was a minor Silesian duchy held by a cadet branch of the Württemberg line — geographically and politically remote from Stuttgart, operating its own mint largely because the privilege existed rather than because the economy demanded it. By 1704, Karl Friedrich was navigating the duchy through the turbulence of the War of the Spanish Succession, which disrupted trade networks across the region and made even small-denomination silver coinage a tool of practical administration rather than prestige.
At 0.75 g, the silver content was minimal. The duchy's mint output from this period is sparse in surviving records, and examples in any condition are infrequently encountered.
