Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick I, who was the Grand Duke of Baden from 1852 until his death in 1856. During his reign, there was a movement towards greater German unity, and the coin's design reflects this, featuring an image of Frederick I on one side and the coat of arms of Baden on the other. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of Germany during this time period.
