William I of Württemberg (German: Wilhelm Friedrich Karl von Württemberg; 27 September 1781 – 25 June 1864) was the second King of Württemberg from 30 October 1816 until his death.
He was born in Lüben, the son of King Frederick I of Württemberg (1754–1816) and his wife, Duchess Augusta of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel (1764–1788).
Württemberg gulden
The Gulden was the currency of Württemberg until 1873. Until 1824, the Gulden was a unit of account and was used to denominate banknotes but was not issued as a coin. It was worth 5/12 of a Conventionsthaler and was subdivided into 50 Conventionskreuzer or 60 Kreuzer Landmünze.
The first Gulden coins were issued in 1824. The new Gulden was equal to the earlier Gulden and was subdivided into 60 Kreuzer. The rather unusual denominations of 12 and 24 Kreuzer were issued, replacing the 10 and 20 Conventionskreuzer coins.
In 1837, Baden joined the South German Monetary Union. This caused the Gulden to be reduced slightly in size, as it was now worth four sevenths of a Prussian Thaler.
The Gulden was replaced by the Mark in 1873, at a rate of 1 Mark = 35 Kreuzer.
