Interesting fact
The 2 Frederik d'Or coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of King Frederik VI (1836-1839), features a unique design element - a small crown on the obverse side, which was added to symbolize the king's role as the "Crown Prince of Norway." This coin was minted during a time when Denmark and Norway were in a personal union under the same monarch, and the crown symbolized the king's authority over both countries. This interesting fact highlights the historical significance of the coin and its connection to the political context of the time.
