Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Europe. The year 1761 saw the death of Frederick V of Denmark, who had ruled the country since 1746. His death led to a period of political instability, as his son and successor, Christian VII, was only a child at the time and had to rule through a regency council. This coin, minted in the County of Oldenburg, which was a German state, is a testament to the complex political landscape of Europe during this time.
