Interesting fact
The 1648 Frederik III Largesse issue 1/12 Speciedaler coin from Denmark is interesting because it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Denmark. The coin was issued as part of a largesse, or gift, from King Frederik III to his nobles and loyal subjects, and it features an image of the king on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Danish coinage and is highly sought after by collectors.
