Interesting fact

The 1 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, issued in 1681 during the reign of Christian Albert, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by an elaborate wreath and the inscription "CHRISTIAN ALBERT D.G. HERTZOG V. SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN UND GOTTORP" (Christian Albert, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein and Gottorp, by the grace of God). This coin was made of silver and weighs 1.06 grams.
