Altho Baden was not a major issuer of coins prior to unification, its issues during the Empire (1871-1918) were substantial. The Baden mint at Karlsruhe (mintmark "G") struck minor coins during the Empire and afterward until today. This type was struck 1902-07 for Friedrich I, grand duke 1852-1907. This older bust of the grand duke also appears on two mark (KM 278) and five mark (KM 274).
