Interesting fact

The 1 Kreuzer coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden, issued during the reign of Louis I (1821-1826), features an interesting design element - a stylized depiction of a lion on the reverse side. The lion is shown standing on its hind legs, with its front paws resting on a shield, and its head turned to the left, as if looking back towards the observer. This design was meant to symbolize the strength and power of the Grand Duchy, and it has become a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
