Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features a unique design element - the "Piedestalkrone" or "footstool crown" which is a small crown placed on the pedestal supporting the main crown. This design was used during the reign of Christian V and was meant to symbolize the king's role as the protector of the realm.
