6 Kreuzers - Frederick I

Württemberg's elevation to a kingdom in January 1806 — Napoleon's reward for Friedrich II's loyalty and military cooperation — triggered an immediate need to reissue coinage under the new royal title. This six kreuzer belongs to that first wave of regal issues, struck within months of the proclamation. The billon standard reflects the monetary pressures of the Napoleonic wars, when silver was scarce and the Confederation of the Rhine states were managing coin metal carefully.
