Interesting fact
The 24 Skilling Dansk coin featuring Christian VII of Denmark was minted during a time of economic turmoil in Denmark, known as the "Dansk monetary crisis" (1778-1783). The government had issued a large amount of paper money to finance their involvement in the American Revolutionary War, which led to inflation and a devaluation of the Danish currency. As a result, the value of the 24 Skilling coin fluctuated significantly during this period, making it an interesting piece of numismatic history.
