Interesting fact

The 1 Albus coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach (German States) made of Billon weighing 0.94 g is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was minted during the reign of Margrave Karl Friedrich, who ruled from 1749 to 1751, a period of significant economic growth and development in the region. The coin's design, which features an image of the Margrave on one side and the coat of arms of Baden-Durlach on the other, reflects the importance of the ruling family and the state's coat of arms during this time. Additionally, the use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this period, as it was a more affordable alternative to pure silver or gold coins. Overall, this coin provides a unique glimpse into the economic and political climate of 18th century Europe.
