Comment
Version with heart on crossbarInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 24 Skilling Dansk - Christian VI (Bust type) 1731-1732 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small crown on the obverse (front) side of the coin, which was added to signify the king's status as the "King of Denmark and Norway." This feature sets it apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
