Interesting fact
The 1 Rigsdaler coin featuring King Frederik VII was the last coin to be issued before Denmark transitioned from the rigsdaler currency to the krone currency in 1855. This coin was minted in silver and has a unique design, featuring the king's portrait on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. It's a rare and valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
