Comment
Ruler: Karl FriedrichInteresting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Magraviate of Baden, issued during the reign of Charles Frederick (1803-1805), was the first coin to feature the image of a German ruler since the medieval times. This was a significant departure from the traditional design of coins in the region, which typically featured religious symbols or abstract designs. The inclusion of the ruler's image on the coin was seen as a statement of the growing power and influence of the German states, and marked a shift towards more secular and nationalistic themes in coin design.
