Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Schilling "Reuterpfennig" coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the region. The coin was issued in 1640, just a few years after the Thirty Years' War had ended, which had a profound impact on the economy and trade in the region. Additionally, the coin was minted during the reign of Christian IV, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Danish economy, including the introduction of new coinage systems. This coin, therefore, represents a unique snapshot of the economic and political climate of the time, making it a fascinating piece of history for collectors and historians alike.
