Interesting fact
The 1⁄12 Schilling coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) made of Copper weighing 1.05 g is interesting because it was minted during the reign of Charles Frederick, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp from 1702 until his death in 1739. This coin was part of a series of coins minted during his reign, and it features an image of the duke on one side and the coat of arms of the duchy on the other. The use of copper as the material for the coin was a common practice during this time period, as it was a readily available and affordable metal. Today, this coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, providing a glimpse into the history of the German States and the reign of Charles Frederick.
