| Additional information |
Eberhard III inherited a duchy that had been almost entirely destroyed by the Thirty Years' War — Württemberg lost an estimated three-quarters of its population between 1618 and 1648, a demographic collapse unmatched in the territory's history. That this thaler was struck at all during those years reflects a deliberate effort to reassert ducal authority over a land still occupied by Imperial and Swedish forces in shifting turns.
The Davenport reference places it within the South German thaler sequence; the Ebner attribution narrows it to the Württemberg ducal series specifically documented by Johann Ebner's regional corpus. The narrow four-year window aligns with the final grinding phase of the war before the Peace of Westphalia in 1648.
