Comment
This coin has two different version, one with simple king's monogram (like that of Denmark XII Skilling km# 513 or km# 521); and a second one with more elaborate monogram were the numbers "4" ends up in a sling at the bottom (just like the coins shown here).Interesting fact
The 12 Skilling Dansk coin featuring Frederik IV of Denmark was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Denmark. The country was facing a severe financial crisis, and the government was forced to debase the currency by reducing the silver content of the coins. Despite this, the 12 Skilling Dansk coin remained a popular and trusted form of currency among the people, and it continued to be used for many years after its minting.
