Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a brief period of Danish rule over the US Virgin Islands, specifically from 1904 to 1905. The coin features the image of King Christian IX of Denmark on one side and the value of 4 daler or 20 francs on the other. The use of both Danish and French denominations reflects the islands' history as a Danish colony that was later sold to the United States in 1917. The coin's gold content and unique history make it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
