Additional information

Württemberg-Urach and Württemberg-Stuttgart operated as separate counties following the 1442 partition between Ludwig I and his cousin Ulrich V — a division that would last until the Treaty of Münsingen reunified the territory in 1482. Coins struck under Ludwig during this fractured period circulated within a geographically constrained domain, which partly explains the survival rarity of small silver issues from this branch.

The Ebner reference places this among the thinner hellers and pfennigs of the mid-fifteenth-century Swabian series, where die cutting quality varied considerably between workshops.
