| Beschrijving voorzijde | Bare-headed right-facing effigy of King Karl I of Württemberg, depicted with short curly hair and a full beard, rendered in high relief with finely detailed hair and facial features in a naturalistic academic style. The circular legend reads KARL KOENIG VON WUERTTEMBERG around the upper periphery, separated from the portrait by a beaded inner border. The engraver's signature C. SCHNITZSPAHN appears in small lettering at the truncation below the bust. The field is smooth and deeply mirrored, consistent with a proof-quality pattern striking. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
This piece was struck as a pattern — never adopted for circulation — at a moment when Württemberg's participation in any unified German coinage system was still politically unresolved. The Ulm Cathedral, whose construction had been abandoned for centuries and was finally nearing completion in the 1870s after a Prussian-backed revival effort, made an unusually local choice of subject for what might otherwise have been a dynastic commemorative.
Karl I's reign saw Württemberg absorbed into the German Empire in 1871, which rendered any independent Württemberg monetary planning moot almost immediately after this piece was produced.
