Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the birth of twin daughters to Charles I Frederick, the Margrave of Baden-Durlach, in 1776. This coin is a rare example of a commemorative coin minted for a personal event in the life of a ruler, rather than a major historical event or milestone.
