Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Groschen coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the letters "E" and "F" on either side of the coat of arms, which stands for Ernest Frederick, the ruler of the region at the time the coin was minted. This shield is not found on other coins from the same period, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
