| Additional information |
Baden's elevation to a Grand Duchy in 1806 — engineered by Napoleon as a reward for Charles Frederick's alliance and his grandson's marriage to Stéphanie de Beauharnais — touched off a brief renegotiation of the region's coinage conventions. This thaler was struck under the Conventionsfuss standard, a monetary agreement dating to 1753 between Austria and Bavaria, which Baden had formally adopted. The three-year window of this issue reflects the transitional administrative pressures of a minor German state rapidly expanding its territory through Napoleonic redistribution.
