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 economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1856, just a few years before the formation of the North German Confederation in 1867, which marked the beginning of Germany's unification under Prussian leadership. The coin's mintage was also a response to the growing need for a standardized currency across the German states.
