Interesting fact
The ½ Skilling Rigsmønt coin from Denmark, minted in 1868 during the reign of Christian IX, features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the king, while the reverse side features a stylized depiction of the Danish coat of arms, consisting of three lions and a shield. This design was used on several Danish coins during this period, but the ½ Skilling Rigsmønt coin is unique in that it features a bronze composition, whereas other coins of the same denomination were made of silver or gold. This interesting fact highlights the diversity of materials used in coin production during this time and adds to the rich history of Danish numismatics.
