| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field dominated by a large diagonal 'W' monogram, representing the arms or cipher of the margraviate, flanked by the initials 'F' and 'M' above and 'B' to the right, all set within a beaded border. The date appears in the lower portion of the field, reading '1623' (for the first year of issue). The legends 'F M Z B' and the date are arranged around the monogram, consistent with hammered small coinage of the early seventeenth century. The surfaces display characteristic irregularities typical of hand-struck pfennig coinage of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Issued during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War, when the Margraviate of Baden-Durlach was drawn into the conflict on the Protestant side. Frederick V of Baden-Durlach — not to be confused with the Elector Palatine of the same name — committed forces to the disastrous Battle of Wimpfen in May 1622, after which imperial troops occupied much of his territory. These tiny silver pfennigs were struck in the narrow window between that occupation and Frederick's eventual restoration, a period of acute administrative and monetary disruption along the Upper Rhine.
