Württemberg's 2 Gulden issues of this period were struck to the South German Gulden standard established by the Dresden Coinage Convention of 1838, which attempted to rationalize the bewildering patchwork of currency systems across the German states. The convention fixed 24½ Gulden to the Cologne mark of silver, a compromise that satisfied neither Prussia nor Austria but gave the southern states a workable common unit for roughly two decades — until the Vienna Coinage Treaty of 1857 rendered the entire standard obsolete and redenominated the region toward the Vereinsthaler.
