Comment
Mintmaster - Michael MöllerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1/16 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the initials "C.A." (for Christian Albert) located above the coat of arms on the obverse side of the coin. This subtle detail sets it apart from other coins of the time and adds to its historical significance.
