Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 6 Schilling - Charles Frederick 1722-1726 from Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (German States) made of Silver is that it features an image of Charles Frederick, the ruling duke at the time, on one side, and the coat of arms of the Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp on the other.
