Interesting fact
The 1/16 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp, made of silver, features an interesting fact: it was minted during the reign of John Adolphus, who was only 12 years old when he ascended to the throne in 1602. Despite his young age, John Adolphus was able to maintain peace in the region and promote economic growth, which led to the minting of this coin. This coin is a testament to the resilience and adaptability of the people of the region during a time of political uncertainty.
