Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of King Frederick I of Denmark, who was also known as Frederick the Protestant. He was a member of the House of Oldenburg and ruled Denmark and Norway from 1523 to 1533. During his reign, he introduced the Protestant Reformation in Denmark, which had a significant impact on the country's religion, culture, and politics. This coin, which features the king's name and title, is a tangible reminder of this important period in Danish history.
