Historical Context: This 1711 1/4 Ducat was issued under Charles Frederick, Duke of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp (1702-1739). His reign was dominated by the Great Northern War, a conflict profoundly impacting the Baltic region. As King Charles XII of Sweden's nephew, his duchy was strategically vital, often caught between Sweden and Denmark. Issuing gold coinage like this small ducat during tumultuous times highlights the necessity of currency for trade, military needs, and maintaining ducal prestige amidst complex European power politics.
Artistry: The design reflects early 18th-century German numismatic style, blending late Baroque formality with emerging Rococo elements. While
