Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1/12 Speciedaler coin from Denmark is that it was issued during the reign of King Christian VII, who was known for his mental health issues and was often ruled by his advisors. Despite this, the coin still bears his name and image, making it a unique piece of Danish history.
