5 Kreuzer - Eberhard Louis

Eberhard Louis spent much of his reign financing the construction of Ludwigsburg Palace and maintaining a court modeled on Versailles — an extravagance that repeatedly strained Württemberg's treasury. Small silver issues of this type circulated alongside a currency system perpetually under pressure from the duke's building ambitions and his costly participation in the War of the Spanish Succession.

KM#309 spans a six-year production window, suggesting steady if unspectacular demand rather than a single emergency striking.
