Interesting fact
The 1 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, issued in 1682 during the reign of Christian Albert, features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the duke, surrounded by an elaborate wreath made up of leaves and flowers. This design was a departure from the more traditional depiction of rulers on coins, which typically featured a straightforward portrait or bust shot. The use of a wreath in this design may have been intended to symbolize the duke's connection to nature and the land, or to convey a sense of prosperity and abundance. Regardless of the specific meaning behind it, the unique design of this coin makes it a standout among other coins of the time.
