| Aanvullende informatie |
The Duchy of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg was itself a subdivision of an already subdivided territory — the result of the 1564 partition of Schleswig-Holstein among the sons of Christian III of Denmark, and then further split again in 1622. John (Johann) ruled the Sonderburg line from 1582 until his death in 1622, presiding over a minor court with limited fiscal resources. Small silver issues like this one funded the duchy's day-to-day obligations during the opening years of the Thirty Years' War, which began in 1618 — the same window this piece was struck.
