When he succeeded to the throne in 1848, Frederick VII was viewed as an unpredictable monarch; consequently, popular demand soon achieved the country's first constitution and the end of absolutism. 

Frederick married and divorced two princesses, finally settling with a commoner, Louise Rasmussen. He left no legitimate offspring, however, and upon his death in 1863 the crown passed to a second cousin. 

This is a brilliant coin, very lightly circulated.
