Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Denmark. Christian VII, who ruled from 1787-1808, was known for his mental health issues and was often under the influence of his advisors. This led to a period of political instability and power struggles within the Danish government, which is reflected in the coin's design and minting process. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
