Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, minted between 1828 and 1830, features an interesting design element. On the obverse side, the coin bears the image of Louis I, the Grand Duke of Baden, while the reverse side features a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the denomination. This design was a departure from the previous coinage of the Grand Duchy, which had featured a more traditional crowned shield motif. The use of the oak leaves was meant to symbolize the connection between the Grand Duchy and the German Confederation, of which it was a member. This design change was a significant departure from the traditional coinage of the time and showed the Grand Duchy's willingness to adopt new and innovative designs.
