Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling coin from the Danish West Indies (now the US Virgin Islands) is interesting because it was used as a form of currency during a unique historical period. The coin was minted in 1740, during the reign of Christian VI of Denmark, and it was used in the Danish West Indies, which was a colony of Denmark from 1730 to 1917. The coin is made of copper and weighs 1 gram, which was a common weight for coins of its time. Despite its small size, the coin has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in the history of the Caribbean and the Danish colonial era.
