Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Penning - Christopher II (Roskilde) ND (1319-1332) from Denmark weighing 0.88 g is that it was minted during the reign of King Christopher II, who was known for his efforts to strengthen the Danish economy and military. Despite his efforts, the coinage during his reign was not well-maintained, and many coins, including this one, were minted with low silver content, leading to inflation and economic difficulties. This coin is a rare surviving example of the coinage from that time period and offers a glimpse into the economic and political challenges faced by Denmark during the early 14th century.
