Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/32 Thaler coin from the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of the Gottorp family, which was added to the obverse (front) side of the coin. This shield was not present on earlier coins issued by the Duchy, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
