Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Sechsling 1851 was a trial coin minted in 1851 for the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, which were then part of the German Confederation. The coin was designed by the Danish coin engraver, Christian Christensen, and features a unique combination of German and Danish elements on its obverse and reverse sides. The obverse side bears the inscription "SECHSLING" and the reverse side features the coat of arms of the German Confederation, surrounded by the inscription "DEUTSCHER BUND" (German Confederation). This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists, with only a few examples known to exist in mint condition.
