Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Denmark. Christian VII, who ruled from 1787-1808, was known for his mental health issues and was often unable to perform his duties as king. This led to a power struggle between different factions of the government, which ultimately resulted in the adoption of a new constitution in 1808. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the Speciesthaler / Schilling Courant coin being a standard circulation coin during this period.
