Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Skilling Dansk - Frederik III (Shield type III) coin from Denmark is that it was issued during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was minted during the reign of King Frederik III, who ruled Denmark from 1648 to 1670. During his reign, Denmark was facing significant economic challenges, including inflation and a shortage of coinage. The government responded by introducing a new coinage system, which included the 2 Skilling Dansk coin. The coin was made of Billon, a silver-copper alloy, and weighed 1.2 grams. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remained in circulation for several decades and is now a sought-after collector's item.
