Comment
Mintmaster Christoph WoltereckInteresting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from Christian V's reign in the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to use a new technology called "milled" or "reeded" edges. This was a security feature that made it harder for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, as it created a distinctive texture on the edges of the coin that was difficult to replicate. This technology was first introduced in Europe in the late 16th century and became widely used in the 17th and 18th centuries.
