Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Charles Frederick 1705 coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique blend of Christian and pagan imagery on its reverse side. The coin's reverse depicts a crowned shield with the initials "C" and "F" on either side, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves and topped with a cross. This blend of Christian and pagan symbols reflects the complex religious and cultural influences present in the region during the early 18th century.
