| Additional information |
Baden's copper Kreuzer coinage of the 1850s was produced under Frederick I, who had technically been regent since 1852 while his brother Ludwig II was deemed mentally unfit to rule — Frederick wouldn't formally assume the Grand Ducal title until 1856, the very year of this issue. The timing makes pieces from this year particularly transitional in terms of issuing authority.
KM#232 is a short-lived type, replaced within a few years as Baden moved toward the standardization pressures that preceded German unification.
