Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, issued in 1623 during the reign of Frederick V, features an image of the ruler on horseback, surrounded by an ornate border. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, when the Thirty Years' War was raging across the continent. Despite the conflict, the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach was able to maintain its independence and continue minting its own coins, which is a testament to the region's resilience and economic strength during this period.
