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 1852, just a few years after the Grand Duchy had joined the German Customs Union, which was a precursor to the unification of Germany. The coin's design, featuring an image of Frederick I, the Grand Duke of Baden, was meant to symbolize the region's newfound economic and political power.
