Interesting fact
The ½ Skilling coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian VI in 1745, is interesting because it was made of copper, a material that was not commonly used for coins at that time. Most coins from this period were made of silver or gold, so the use of copper for this coin was a notable deviation from the norm. Additionally, the coin's weight of 3.654 grams is relatively heavy for a coin of its size, which suggests that it may have been intended for use in everyday transactions, rather than as a collector's item.
