Interesting fact
The 1 Sosling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is interesting because it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was minted in 1682, just a few years after the end of the Thirty Years' War, which had a profound impact on the German states. Additionally, the coin was issued during the reign of Christian Albert, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp from 1648 to 1695. He was known for his efforts to modernize the economy and infrastructure of the region, which likely contributed to the issuance of this coin.
