Interesting fact
The Pattern ⅔ Speciedaler - Christian VII (Copper pattern strike) ND (1805) from Denmark, made of Copper weighing 16.26g, is a rare and valuable coin among collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Denmark, known as the "Coinage Crisis," which lasted from 1803 to 1814. During this period, the government struggled to produce enough coins to meet the demand for currency, leading to the creation of a variety of experimental coins, including the Pattern ⅔ Speciedaler. This coin's unique design and historical significance make it a prized addition to any coin collection.
