Comment
Mintmaster - Otto Heinrich KnorreInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Norburg-Plön is that it features an image of Frederick Charles, the ruling Duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy on the other. This coin was minted in 1760 and was made of gold with a purity level of .986, which is relatively high compared to other coins of its time. Additionally, it weighs 3.46 grams, which is a relatively small weight for a coin of its denomination.
