| Additional information |
Charles Frederick of Baden-Durlach was, by 1763, already consolidating what would eventually become the Grand Duchy of Baden — but that outcome was decades away. This thaler was struck in the immediate aftermath of the Seven Years' War, a conflict that had left the southwestern German states economically gutted and their currencies badly debased. Baden-Durlach's silver issues of this period carry multiple Davenport varieties (1931, 1931A, 1931B), distinctions that almost certainly reflect sequential die changes rather than deliberate policy.
