Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "FREDERICUS IV D G DUX SLESWICENSIS" contains a typo, with the letter "S" appearing twice in a row. This error was not corrected in any of the mintings of the coin, making it a unique and interesting feature of the coin.
