| Obverse description | Draped bust of Duke Charles Eugene facing right, set within a central diamond-shaped (rhombus) frame that divides the surrounding legend. The denomination numeral '20' appears below the bust at the base of the rhombus. The legend runs along the four sides of the coin in the outer field, reading CAROLVS - D: G: DVX - WURTEM - BERG & T, identifying the ruler by name and title in Latin. The portrait displays the Duke in contemporary court dress with an elaborate flowing wig rendered in fine detail. The overall composition is characteristic of late Baroque South German coinage. |

| Reverse description | The crowned quartered arms of Württemberg, supported by two outward-facing eagles and set within an elaborate baroque cartouche, are displayed at the center of a diamond-shaped (rhombus) frame. The date 1770 appears at the upper left outside the rhombus, while the motto legend is distributed across the four sides of the outer field reading PROVIDE - ET CON - STANTER, meaning 'With Providence and Constancy.' The shield displays the characteristic Württemberg quartering with the three stags' antlers. The overall design reflects the ornate heraldic style typical of mid-eighteenth-century German princely coinage. |
