Schleswig-Holstein Coin List
The Schleswig-Holstein region, located in northern Germany, has a rich numismatic history that reflects its complex political and cultural past. For centuries, this area was the subject of disputes between Denmark and the German states, which was reflected in the diversity of its coinage.
Political and monetary history of Schleswig-Holstein
Schleswig-Holstein experienced numerous changes of government throughout its history. From the 15th century until the mid-19th century, the region was under Danish control, albeit with some autonomy. During this period, coins were minted that reflected this duality, such as the schleswig-holstein kurantdaler, which featured both Danish and local symbols. The situation changed drastically after the Duchy War of 1864, when Prussia and Austria took control of the region. This led to the introduction of new coins, such as the schleswig-holstein thaler, which reflected the growing German influence in the area.
Characteristics of Schleswig-Holstein Coins
Schleswig-Holstein coins are notable for their diversity and artistic quality. During the Danish period, it was common to see coins with Latin and Danish inscriptions, as well as heraldic symbols representing both the Danish crown and the duchies. After the Prussian annexation, the coins adopted a more Germanic style, with the Prussian eagle often present in the designs. An interesting feature of many Schleswig-Holstein coins is the presence of two lions on the shield, symbolizing the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. Collectors especially value limited issues from certain historical periods, such as coins minted during the brief Austro-Prussian joint government of 1864-1866, which are considered numismatic rarities.
