Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Speciedaler "Våbenspecie" coin from Denmark is that it was minted during a time of monetary reform in the country. In 1849, King Frederik VII introduced a new coinage system that replaced the old system based on the Danish rigsdaler with a new system based on the speciedaler, which was equal to 1/4 of a rigsdaler. This coin, minted during that transition period, features the king's portrait on one side and the coat of arms of Denmark on the other, symbolizing the country's shift towards a more modern and standardized monetary system.
