Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an image of Christian Albert, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and an image of the Holy Roman Emperor, Leopold I, on the other. This coin was minted during a time of political tension between the Duchy and the Holy Roman Empire, and the inclusion of both leaders' images may have been a symbol of the complex political relationships at play.
