Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in Denmark. Christian VII, who ruled from 1787-1801, was known for his mental health issues and was often unable to perform his duties as king. This led to a power struggle between different factions within the government, which ultimately resulted in the adoption of a new constitution in 1801 that limited the power of the monarchy. Despite this turmoil, the coinage of the time remained consistent, with the 2½ Schilling Courant / 1⁄24 Speciesthaler coin being one example of a coin that was minted during this period.
