Interesting fact

The 1 Speciedaler coin was used as a means of payment in Denmark during the 17th century, and it was made of silver with a purity level of .875, which means it contained 87.5% silver and 12.5% other metals. The coin weighed 28.65 grams and had a diameter of 38-40 millimeters. It was minted during the reign of King Frederik III, who ruled Denmark from 1648 to 1670. The coin's design featured an image of the king on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. I hope you find this information helpful and interesting!
