Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V (1693-1694), features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the royal coat of arms, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a common motif in European coinage during the 17th century, symbolizing the power and authority of the monarch.
