Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Kreuzer - Leopold I (Charles Frederick's statue - Silver pattern strike) 1844 from Grand Duchy of Baden (Baden, German States) is that it was minted during a time of great change and political upheaval in Germany. The coin was issued in 1844, just a few years before the Revolutions of 1848, which saw widespread unrest and political turmoil across Europe. Despite this, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and detail, with its intricate design and high-quality silver content. This coin is a testament to the resilience and skill of the mint workers and craftsmen who created it, even in a time of great uncertainty.
