Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dukat / 6 Mark coin from Denmark is that it was minted during the reign of King Frederick III, who ruled from 1648 to 1670. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. The use of gold in the coin's minting was a symbol of the king's wealth and power, and the coin's small size and light weight made it a practical and portable form of currency for everyday transactions.
