The 1847 20 Skilling coin from the Danish West Indies (now U.S. Virgin Islands) is a silver coin from King Christian VIII's reign, featuring crowned royal arms on the obverse and "XX SKILLING DANSK AMERIKANSK MYNT" on the reverse, valued by collectors as a historical artifact with limited mintage, typically .625 fine silver, and part of a series from 1840-1847.
Historical Significance:
- These coins served as circulating currency in the Danish colonies (St. Thomas, St. John, St. Croix) during the mid-19th century.
- They are tangible pieces of the region's colonial economic history before the sale to the U.S. in 1917.
