Interesting fact
The 1 Royalin - Frederik V 1755 coin from Danish India is interesting because it was minted during a time when Denmark-Norway was involved in the transatlantic slave trade. The coin's silver content was likely obtained from the Danish West Indies, specifically the island of St. Croix, which was a major producer of sugar and a hub for the transatlantic slave trade. The coin's minting can be seen as a manifestation of the colonial powers' exploitation of resources and labor in the Americas during that time period.
