Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Magraviate of Baden, issued during the reign of Charles Frederick (1803-1806), was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it features a unique design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbols, the 1 Kreuzer coin features a stylized image of a horse, which was a symbol of strength and prosperity in the region. This design was specifically chosen to represent the agricultural wealth and horse breeding traditions of the Magraviate of Baden.
