Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 2 Sechsling - Christian VII 1787-1800 from Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein (German States) made of Billon (.250 silver) weighing 1.499 g is that it was minted during a time of great political and economic change in Europe. The coin was issued during the reign of Christian VII, who was the King of Denmark and Norway from 1766 to 1808. During his reign, the Danish monarchy was facing financial difficulties, and the government was forced to debase the currency to pay off debts. As a result, the 2 Sechsling coin was made with a lower silver content than previous coins, which led to inflation and economic hardship for the people of Denmark and Holstein. Despite these challenges, the coin remains a valuable piece of numismatic history, offering a glimpse into the economic and political climate of the time.
