Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Ducat - Charles Frederick 1708 from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Charles Frederick, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp from 1702 until his death in 1739. During his reign, the duchy experienced significant economic growth and cultural development, and the minting of this coin was likely a reflection of this prosperity. Additionally, the coin's gold content and relatively small weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
