Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ¼ Thaler coin from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique combination of Christian and pagan symbols. On one side, the coin bears the image of St. John the Baptist, while on the other side, it features a depiction of the Norse god Odin. This blending of religious symbols reflects the cultural and religious diversity of the region during that time period.
