Interesting fact
The ¼ Guldiner coin was minted during the reign of Christopher I, who was the Margrave of Baden from 1513 to 1527. The coin features an image of Christopher I on one side and the Baden coat of arms on the other. The ¼ Guldiner was a fractional currency, meaning it was worth one-quarter of a standard Guldiner, which was the standard unit of currency in the German States at the time. The use of fractional currencies like the ¼ Guldiner made it easier for people to buy and sell goods and services in small denominations, promoting economic activity and trade.
