Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Sechsling coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The coin was issued during the reign of Frederick III, who was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1648 to 1670. During his reign, the region was plagued by wars, including the Second Northern War, which lasted from 1655 to 1660. Despite these challenges, the minting of the 1 Sechsling coin continued, and it remains a valuable piece of history for collectors today.
