Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The coin was minted in 1706, and the reverse side features the inscription "SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN-GOTTORP" with the letters "GOTTORP" mistakenly inverted. This error was not corrected in subsequent mintings, making it a unique feature of the coin that has become a topic of interest among collectors.
