Comment
Size as a quarter dukat but twice thickerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Dukat coin from Denmark is that it was minted during the reign of King Christian V, who was known for his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Danish economy. The coin's gold content and small weight make it a unique and valuable collector's item among numismatists.
