Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Speciedaler - Christian VII (Bauert portrait) 1795-1801 from Denmark is that it was minted during a time of economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at addressing inflation and stabilizing the economy, and it remained in circulation until the early 19th century.
