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 1787-1796, was known for his mental health issues and was often absent from governing, leading to a power struggle between different factions of the government. Despite this, the coin still bears his name and image, highlighting the complex history surrounding its creation.
