Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in the Grand Duchy of Baden. The coin was introduced in 1855, just a few years after the formation of the German Customs Union, which aimed to create a unified economic zone across the German states. The coin's design, featuring an image of Frederick I, the Grand Duke of Baden, was meant to symbolize the state's independence and sovereignty during a time of increasing political and economic integration.
