Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during a time of monetary reform in Denmark. In 1841, King Christian VIII introduced a new coinage system that replaced the old system of rigsdaler and skilling with a new system based on the krone and øre. This coin, which features the king's portrait on one side and the denomination on the other, was part of this new system and was used widely in circulation during that time.
