Comment
Herman von Baden married in 1248 Gertrude of Austria, the niece of the last male member of the Babenberg dynasty, Duke Frederick II of Austria (1230–1246), and on the basis of that marriage claimed the duchies of Austria and Styria.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in Europe, specifically during the Interregnum, a period of about 20 years when there was no Holy Roman Emperor, which led to a power vacuum and many conflicts between different factions and regions. Despite this, the coin still features the name and image of Hermann VI von Baden, indicating that he was still recognized as the Duke of Austria and Styria during this time.
