Interesting fact
The coin is a rare and interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about it is that it was minted during the reign of King Christopher of Bavaria, who was also known as Christopher III. He was the King of Denmark, Norway, and Sweden, and his reign lasted from 1440 to 1448. This coin, which features an image of the king on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other, was likely used as a means of payment and trade during his rule. It's made of silver, which was a valuable and widely used metal at the time, and weighs 0.75 grams. Despite its small size, this coin is a significant artifact that provides insight into the economic and political climate of 15th-century Denmark.
