Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was minted during the reign of Christian Albert, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp from 1688 to 1695. The coin features an image of the Duke on one side and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. The coin was made of gold (.986) and weighs 3.48 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin was minted during a time of political and economic change in the region, as the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp was struggling to maintain its independence against the powerful neighboring states of Denmark and Sweden. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of history and a testament to the craftsmanship of the time.
