Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, minted in 1820 during the reign of Louis I, features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a horse on the reverse side. This horse design was a common motif in coinage during the time period, but what makes this particular coin stand out is that the horse is shown in a unique "flying gallop" pose, with its legs stretched out in a dynamic, energetic manner. This design choice was likely intended to symbolize the power and strength of the Grand Duchy of Baden, and it adds a touch of elegance and beauty to the coin.
