Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Denmark. King Frederik VI, who ruled from 1808 to 1839, oversaw a period of political and economic upheaval, including the abolition of serfdom and the introduction of a new constitution. Despite these challenges, the coinage of Denmark remained consistent and reliable, with the 1 Rigsbankdaler / ½ Speciedaler coin being a prime example. Its design, featuring a portrait of the king and a detailed image of the Danish coat of arms, symbolized the stability and continuity of the Danish monarchy during a time of great change.
