Interesting fact

The 1 Dreier coin from the Magraviate of Baden, minted during the reign of Christopher I (1501-1527), was made of silver, which was a significant departure from the usual copper or bronze used for lower denomination coins at the time. This indicates that the Magraviate of Baden had a relatively strong economy and was able to afford the use of more valuable materials for its currency.
