| Additional information |
In 1822, the Danish Crown Prince Frederik (later Frederik VI) and his wife visited Paris, and the Monnaie de Paris struck these copper essai-style pieces as presentation souvenirs of the occasion — a common diplomatic courtesy of the Restoration period. The Mazard and Gadoury references classify it as a medal-coin hybrid, struck on coin dies but distributed as a gift rather than circulated currency.
The Galster reference places it firmly within Danish commemorative numismatics, which is telling: Copenhagen collectors have historically claimed this piece as much as French ones do.
