Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great turmoil in the region. The Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp was involved in a series of conflicts, including the Thirty Years' War, which had a significant impact on the local economy and population. Despite these challenges, the coinage continued to be minted, and this particular coin is a testament to the resilience and determination of the people of the region during that time.
