| Additional information |
Charles Frederick was just nine years old when he nominally assumed rule of Baden-Durlach in 1738 following the death of his father, with actual governance conducted by a regency council — hence the "Administration" designation on this gulden. The regency period lasted until 1746, making coins of this type a product of collective bureaucratic authority rather than any single ruler's direction.
Davenport's SG#239 attribution places it firmly within the smaller South German gulden tradition, struck to the 60-Kreuzer standard that had circulated across the fractured southwestern German states since the late seventeenth century.
