Baden Coin List
The Grand Duchy of Baden was a historic state in southwestern Germany that existed from 1806 to 1918. During this period, Baden issued its own coins, which reflected the rich history and culture of the region. These numismatic pieces are tangible testimonies to Baden' s economic and political evolution throughout the 19th and early 20th centuries.
Monetary system and coinage
Baden's monetary system was initially based on the Gulden, divided into 60 Kreuzer. However, after German unification in 1871, Baden adopted the Deutsche Mark as its official currency. Baden coins typically featured the Grand Duchy's coat of arms or the portrait of the reigning Grand Duke on the obverse. On the reverse, they usually showed the denomination and year of mintage. The main mints were located in Karlsruhe and Mannheim, and they produced a wide range of denominations, from small copper pieces to higher-value silver and gold coins.
Historical importance and collectability
Baden coins are highly valued by collectors and historians because of their mintage quality and historical significance. They reflect the political and economic changes of the time, such as the transition from the Gulden to the Mark and German unification. Some commemorative issues, such as those celebrating ducal anniversaries or important events, are particularly coveted. The 1844 Constitution coin series, for example, is especially significant, as it commemorates the adoption of a liberal constitution in Baden. Today, these coins are not only collector's items, but also valuable sources for the study of the economic and social history of Baden and Germany in general.
