Comment
Altona mint - The last Danish coin containing the Norwegian lion in the coat of armsInteresting fact
The 1 Speciedaler coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of King Frederik VI in 1819, features a unique design element that sets it apart from other coins of its time. The obverse side of the coin bears a portrait of the king, while the reverse side features a depiction of a crowned shield with the Danish coat of arms. This design was a departure from the traditional design used on Danish coins, which typically featured a simple shield with the coat of arms. The inclusion of the crown on the shield was a nod to the king's authority and power, and was a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
