Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Magraviate of Baden is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruler of Baden at the time, on one side, and an image of the Baden coat of arms on the other. This coin was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe, as the Holy Roman Empire was dissolved and many German states, including Baden, became independent territories. Despite this turmoil, the 1 Thaler coin remained a stable and widely-used form of currency throughout the region.
