Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark, minted between 1720 and 1723, is that it features an error in its design. The coin was meant to bear the image of King Frederik IV, but due to a mistake in the minting process, the coin actually features a portrait of King Christian VI, who ruled Denmark from 1730 to 1746. This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
