Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in the Grand Duchy of Baden. The coin was issued in 1807, just a few years after the Napoleonic Wars had ravaged Europe and disrupted trade and commerce. Despite these challenges, the Grand Duchy of Baden was able to maintain its independence and issue its own currency, which is a testament to its resilience and determination.
