Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify that it was made of pure silver, as silver was a valuable and highly sought-after metal at the time. The hole also served as a way to distinguish the coin from counterfeit versions that were made of cheaper metals. This feature is a distinct characteristic of the 1 Sechsling coin and sets it apart from other coins of the time.
