Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Christian VII of Norway, 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, reflecting the monarch's symbolic importance in Norwegian society at the time.
