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 depiction of a mermaid on the reverse side. This mythical creature was a popular motif in medieval and early modern art and symbolized both the beauty and the dangers of the sea. The inclusion of the mermaid on the coin may have been intended to represent the region's maritime trade and cultural connections to the Baltic Sea.
