Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, issued during the reign of Frederick V (1626-1627), features an image of the ruler on horseback, surrounded by an elaborate design that includes the coat of arms of the region and other symbols of power and authority. What's interesting is that this coin was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, when the Thirty Years' War was raging and many regions were struggling with political and economic instability. Despite these challenges, the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach managed to maintain its independence and prosperity, and coins like this one serve as a testament to the region's resilience and strength during that time.
