1 Dreiling - Christian Albert

Christian Albert ruled Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorp during a period when the duchy was perpetually caught between Danish royal ambitions and its own insistence on sovereign administration — a tension that culminated in the Danish occupation of 1675, the same year this type's production ceased. The Dreiling, worth three pfennigs, was the smallest practical silver denomination the duchy issued, and examples this light rarely survived normal commerce without becoming unrecognizable.
