His pietism may have been a reaction to the moral of his womanizing father (Frederick IV). Christian was sickly, and this caused his early death. He was succeeded on the throne by his drunkard son, Frederick V I just felt the need to tell it Attached Thumbnails   Last edited by kvarterto; 10-26-2009 at 06:28 PM.   10-27-2009, 08:43 AM   #2 (permalink) asciibaron /dev/work/null     Join Date: Apr 2007 Posts: 736 nice coin - tons of history i'm sure   10-28-2009, 12:31 PM   #3 (permalink) monetarium Member     Join Date: Nov 2007 Location: Minnesota Posts: 51 That is a fine coin!   10-28-2009, 02:56 PM   #4 (permalink) Collect89 Coin Collector     Join Date: Aug 2008 Posts: 1,491 King Christian VI Quote: Originally Posted by kvarterto Portrait: King Christian VI - King of Demark and Norway 1730-1746, known to be an intolerant pietist who introduced serfdom to the danish peasantry.

He was succeeded on the throne by his drunkard son, Frederick V Thank you for the story & photo. "surfdom" and "Pietism" are words I don't read too often. So basically this sickly guy was the son of a womanizer that thought he was a god and forced people to work as slaves and his son was a drunk. Nice guy. He ought to be on a coin. Thanks again for posting the coin. __________________ "All of us are smarter than any one of us"   Bookmarks Digg del.icio.us StumbleUpon Google Would you like to support CoinTalk?
