| Beschrijving voorzijde | Draped bust of Duke Charles Eugen facing right, wearing armor with a decorative Order star at the breast and a flowing cravat, the hair dressed in the late Baroque style. The initials 'A·R·W·F·' appear at the base of the truncation, identifying the engraver or mint official. The circumferential legend in Latin reads 'CAROLVS D: G: - DVX WURT: & TEC •', separated by a dot stop. The portrait is rendered in high relief characteristic of late 18th-century German thalers, with fine detailing in the drapery and armor. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Charles Eugene ruled Württemberg for over half a century, and by the 1770s his finances were in chronic disorder — decades of court extravagance, a standing army he could barely afford, and recurring disputes with the Estates over tax authority had left the duchy perpetually short. These thalers were struck across three years rather than a single campaign, likely reflecting interrupted mint operations tied to cash-flow constraints rather than any planned series.
The Davids General Thaler reference places this firmly in the broader south German thaler tradition of the period, but Württemberg issues from Charles Eugene's later reign turn up with noticeably inconsistent die quality — worth examining the junction of neck and field closely.
