Interesting fact

The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, issued in 1681 during the reign of Christian Albert, features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the motto "Fürcht Gott, Liebt Recht" (Fear God, Love Justice) inscribed above it. This motto reflects the importance of religion and justice in the region during that time period.
