| Additional information |
Louis Eugen inherited the Duchy of Württemberg in 1793 at the age of 72, having spent decades as a military commander in French service — a fact that made his final year of rule particularly bitter when Revolutionary France began pressing toward the Rhine. He died in May 1795, making this 1794 issue one of only a handful of taler strikes produced under his name. The duchy's mint at Stuttgart was already operating under the shadow of imminent French military pressure that would eventually force Württemberg into a series of humiliating territorial concessions.
