Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruler of the duchy from 1705 to 1706, on one side, and an image of the Gottorp coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of gold (.986) and weighed 3.40 grams.
