Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, issued in 1861 to commemorate Frederick I, features an interesting design element - a wreath of oak leaves surrounding the coat of arms of Baden. This wreath was a symbol of German nationalism during the 19th century, reflecting the growing sense of national identity and unity among the various German states.
