Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Sechsling 1851 from Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein (German States) made of Copper weighing 3.96 g is that it features a unique design, showcasing the coat of arms of the two duchies on one side and the Danish king's monogram on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political tension between the German-speaking population of Schleswig-Holstein and the Danish monarchy, which makes it a valuable piece for collectors interested in the history of the region.
