<p>[QUOTE="chrisild, post: 3405180, member: 39"]Not sure about the number of coins that survived, sorry - all I know is those "accumulated" figures that I posted before. But as you wrote, not too many of these Tübingen University (ever heard of that place, [USER=59737]@Seattlite86[/USER] ? <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> ) coins were minted anyway; 50,000 3 RM plus 40,000 5 RM pieces.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kind of funny that the name referring to Eberhard's beard was used on the coin; "im Bart" means E. "in the beard" or "bearded". In 1468 Eberhard was on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem, and made a vow that he would never take his beard off again. By the way, the ornaments next to "450" and "BART" symbolize Württemberg. They are <i>(consulting dictionary)</i> four-branched stag antlers, see <a href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschstange" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hirschstange" rel="nofollow">here</a> (German), and can still be found in the Greater CoA of the German state of Baden-Württemberg. And on Porsche cars, hehe.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eberhard's portrait on the coin is fine in my opinion, but why have a circle of pearls on one side only?
