Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Mark coin from the Grand Duchy of Baden is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in Germany. The coin was introduced in 1872, just a few years after the formation of the German Empire, and it featured an image of Frederick I, the Grand Duke of Baden, on one side and the German imperial eagle on the other. This coin was a symbol of the new German state and its economic power, and it was used widely in circulation throughout the country. Despite being made of gold, the coin was not particularly valuable at the time, but it has since become a sought-after collector's item due to its historical significance.
