Interesting fact
The obverse side of the coin features an image of Frederick II, the ruler of the duchy from 1712 to 1717. However, the coin was actually minted in 1716, which means that Frederick II's image was used on the coin even though he had already passed away by the time it was minted. This is a fascinating historical footnote, as it highlights the sometimes-complex nature of coin production and the ways in which coins can serve as a window into the past.
