Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach, minted in 1609 during the reign of George Frederick, is notable for its unique design. The coin features a portrait of the margrave on one side and a depiction of the coat of arms of Baden-Durlach on the other. What's interesting is that the coat of arms includes a stylized image of a bear, which was a symbol of strength and power in the region. This design element has been a part of the coin's design for centuries and continues to be featured on coins from the region even today.
