Interesting fact
The ½ Speciedaler coin from Norway, issued during the reign of King Frederik III in 1669, features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the king, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Norway. This design was a departure from the traditional design used on previous Norwegian coins, which typically featured the king's name and title. Instead, the use of the coat of arms symbolized the king's role as the protector of the realm and represented the unity of the Norwegian people. This design change was a significant departure from the norm and marked a new era in Norwegian coinage.
