Interesting fact
The 1 Speciedaler coin was minted during the reign of King Frederik III of Denmark and Norway, who ruled from 1648 to 1670. The coin was used in both Denmark and Norway, and it was made of silver with a purity of .875, which means it contained 87.5% silver and 12.5% other metals. The coin was designed with the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Denmark and Norway on the other. It was a widely used coin during its time and is now considered a valuable collector's item.
