Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is that it was minted during the reign of Frederick I, who was the first Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp and ruled from 1516 to 1532. The coin was made of silver and weighed 1.55 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was widely used in trade and commerce throughout the region.
