Interesting fact
The ½ Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, minted in 1821 during the reign of Louis I, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a horse on the reverse side. This horse design was a common motif in coinage during the time period and was meant to symbolize strength, power, and fertility. Additionally, the use of copper as the material for the coin was a deliberate choice, as it was a relatively inexpensive metal that was widely available and easy to work with, making it an accessible option for everyday transactions.
