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 1841, just a few years after the Grand Duchy had adopted the Gulden as its standard currency, replacing the previously used Thaler. This change was made to simplify the currency system and make it more compatible with the emerging global economy. The coin's design, featuring Leopold I, the ruler of Baden at the time, was also a departure from previous coins, which had featured the coat of arms of the Grand Duchy. This change in design was a nod to the growing trend of featuring rulers on coins, which was popular in other European countries at the time. Overall, this coin represents an interesting moment in the history of the Grand Duchy of Baden, as it reflects the state's efforts to modernize and adapt to changing economic and political circumstances.
