Interesting fact
The ½ Ducat coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian IV in 1647, is interesting because it was made of gold (.979) and weighed 1.75 grams. This coin was a standard circulation coin, indicating that it was widely used and circulated among the public, unlike some other coins that were minted for special occasions or as collectibles. Despite its small size, the coin was made of gold, which gave it a high value and made it a sought-after currency during that time.
