Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the accession of King Frederik V of Denmark, who ruled from 1746 until his death in 1766. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and an image of his predecessor, Christian VI, on the other side, symbolizing the transition of power between the two rulers.
