Charles Frederick inherited Baden-Durlach in 1738 at age ten, meaning the earliest years of this issue were struck under the regency of his mother, Magdalene Wilhelmine of Württemberg. The transition to his personal rule around 1746 produced no observable change in the coinage — administratively and monetarily, the regency simply continued the established type without interruption.
Baden-Durlach's silver issues of this period drew on metal supplies heavily dependent on trade relationships with neighboring territories rather than domestic mining, leaving output volumes subject to external pressures that Schön's census figures reflect in the uneven survival rates across the date range.
