Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler - Frederick III (Mule) 1622 from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) coin is that it features a unique combination of two different coats of arms on its reverse side. The coin's designer, mint master Eberhard von der Linden, created a mule (a hybrid of a male donkey and a female horse) by combining the coat of arms of the Duchy of Schleswig and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Holstein. This unusual design was meant to symbolize the unity of the two duchies under the rule of Frederick III.
