Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Gulden - Frederick I (Mule) ND (1856-1865) from Grand Duchy of Baden (Baden, German States) is that it features a unique combination of designs from two different coinage systems. The obverse (front) side of the coin bears the portrait of Frederick I, the Grand Duke of Baden, while the reverse (back) side features the coat of arms of the German States. This mule coin was minted during a time of transition in the German States, when the old coinage system was being replaced by a new one, and it represents a rare and interesting blend of both systems.
