Comment
Cross reference Galster# 124B; Lange 16Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Schillings - Frederik I coin from Denmark is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. King Frederik I, who ruled from 1523 to 1533, was instrumental in introducing the Protestant Reformation in Denmark, which had a significant impact on the country's religion, culture, and politics. This coin, minted during his reign, is a tangible reminder of that pivotal period in Danish history.
