Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of political turmoil in the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein. The coin was issued by King Frederik VI in 1809, just a few years before the outbreak of the First Schleswig War, which was fought between Denmark and the German Confederation over the control of the duchies. Despite the political tensions, the coin remained in circulation until 1812, when it was replaced by a new currency. This coin is a tangible reminder of the complex history of the region and the political and economic changes that took place during that time.
