Two small star ornaments flank the numeral 48 at the top. The legend is rendered in bold capital letters, with no surrounding border legend. The plain field and clean typography are characteristic of late 18th-century German small silver coinage. |

| Additional information |
Louis Eugen ruled Württemberg for only four years before his death in 1795, and his coinage output reflects that brevity. The duchy's billon issues of this period were largely functional, meeting small-change demand during the financial disruptions of the French Revolutionary Wars, which had begun pushing precious metal out of circulation across the German states by the early 1790s.
The Ebner reference places this firmly within a well-documented local series, though specimens in collectible grades are genuinely scarce — billon small change from this period circulated hard and was rarely preserved.
