Info on collecting Württemberg coins?

4 posts
Hello all!

I collected coins off and on as a child, focusing primarily on old US coins. Just recently (read "last night"), I stumbled upon some Württemberg coins on the Internet that seemed to pique my interest and I impulsively purchased a 1692 1 Kreuzer online that appeared in good condition for its age.

My gut feeling is that this is the start of a fun hobby and I was wondering if there were some books or sites specifically pertaining to these coins out there that I could use to get up to speed!

Thanks in advance!
Hello and welcome to Numista!

My prediction is that your hobby will soon snowball into collecting from the other German states as well. ;)

Here's a gallery for them, Württemberg included:

The Go to books for collecting Württemberg coins would be this series of 4 books by Klein and Raff:


Die Württembergischen Münzen 1374-1693
Die Münzen Württemberg 1693-1797
Die Württembergischen Münzen von 1798 - 1873
Die Münzen und Medaillen der württembergischen Nebenlinien: Mömpelgard, Neuenstadt, Oels und Weiltingen

Being able to narrow down you collection and focus on just on a specific collecting area is to me the best thing that can be done for a collector in the long term.
Württemberg coins are quite vast as there are also the coins of (Württemberg-Mömpelgart, Württemberg-Öls, Württemberg-Weiltingen, The Swabian Circle and more)
