Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Gulden - Frederick I 1856 coin from Grand Duchy of Baden is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "F" and "B" on either side of the crown, which stands for "Frederick, Grand Duke of Baden." This shield was added to the coin's design to commemorate the reign of Frederick I, who ruled the Grand Duchy of Baden from 1852 until his death in 1856. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists and historians interested in the history of the German states.
