Interesting fact
The 1 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, minted during the reign of John Adolphus (1611-1612), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of the Gottorp line of the House of Oldenburg, surrounded by the motto "Fürchte Gott, Liebe Recht" (Fear God, Love Justice). This motto reflects the importance of religion and justice in the region during that time period.
