| Additional information |
Baden's ducat coinage of this period was tied directly to the Convention of Munich (1837), which attempted to standardize gold coinage across the southern German states. Leopold I had acceded to the Grand Duchy in 1830, and the ducats struck under his name during this window represent the duchy's participation in a broader monetary negotiation between Bavaria, Württemberg, and Baden — one that never fully resolved before German unification rendered the question moot.
KM#208 is known with minor die variations across the run, reflecting production spread across several years at the Karlsruhe mint.
