Historical Context: This 1 Dicken, dated 1519, was issued under the legacy of Margrave Christopher I of Baden (reigned 1475-1515).

The early 16th century marked a fermenting period in the Holy Roman Empire. The Dicken, a large silver denomination equivalent to the gold Gulden, crucial for regional commerce, asserted Baden's economic authority.

Artistry: Engraver attribution is rare for this period, but the 1 Dicken of Baden exemplifies the transition from late Gothic to early German Renaissance numismatic
