Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach. Frederick VII Magnus, who ruled from 1677 to 1709, was facing financial difficulties and political tensions, which led to the minting of this coin with a lower silver content than previous issues. Despite these challenges, the coin still features a beautiful design, including an image of the ruler on one side and the coat of arms of Baden-Durlach on the other. This coin is a testament to the resilience and resourcefulness of the people of Baden-Durlach during a time of adversity.
