| Beschrijving keerzijde | Elaborately crowned rococo coat of arms of Württemberg, flanked on either side by upright palm branches, set within an ornamental cartouche typical of the mid-18th century German princely tradition. The date of issue appears divided in the upper field to either side of the crown, while the denomination and fineness statement appear in the lower legend. The motto PROVIDE ET CONSTANTER is inscribed across the field, with the assay legend 10 AUF EINE FEINE MARC indicating the coin's silver standard. The overall composition reflects the high Baroque decorative style prevalent in German state coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles Eugene of Württemberg ran one of the most financially reckless courts in 18th-century Germany, funding his Versailles-style ambitions at Ludwigsburg through ruinous taxation and forced military conscription — grievances his subjects eventually carried to the Imperial Aulic Council in Vienna, which ruled against him in 1764. These thalers were struck during precisely that period of forced fiscal retrenchment, when Charles Eugene was compelled to disband much of his standing army and curtail the court expenditures that had defined his first two decades of rule.
The duchy's mint at Stuttgart handled production. Charles Eugene reigned until 1793, but issues from this three-year window are meaningfully scarcer than his earlier coinage.
