Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in Danish India during the reign of King Christian VIII (1840-1845). Despite being made of copper, which is a relatively inexpensive metal, the coin still held significant value as a medium of exchange in the region. This highlights the importance of standardized currency in facilitating trade and commerce, even in areas with limited resources.
