Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, minted in 1813 during the reign of Charles II Louis Frederick, features an unusual design on its reverse side. Instead of the usual coat of arms or other symbol of the state, the coin bears an image of a horse's head, which was a personal symbol of the Grand Duke. This unique design choice was meant to showcase the Grand Duke's love of horses and his efforts to improve the breeding of horses in the region.
