Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/16 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features an image of Frederick III, who was the Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp from 1617 to 1619. He was also the King of Denmark and Norway during the same period. The coin's design includes an inscription in Latin that translates to "Frederick, by the grace of God, Duke of Schleswig and Holstein, Count of Oldenburg and Delmenhorst." This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, with only a few known examples remaining in existence.
