Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Thaler coin from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an error in the inscription. The coin was minted in 1700, during the reign of Frederick IV, and was meant to have the Latin inscription "FREDERICUS IV DUX SLESvicensis" (Frederick IV, Duke of Schleswig). However, due to a mistake in the minting process, the word "SLESvicensis" was misspelled as "SLESvigensis". This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
