Comment

Mintmaster Johann Lilienthal

Interesting fact

The 1 Düttchen coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg (German States) made of Silver weighing 1.44g is interesting because it was minted during a time of great change in Europe, specifically during the Thirty Years War (1618-1648). This coin was likely used as a means of exchange and commerce during a period of political and economic upheaval.
