Interesting fact

The ½ Dukat coin from Denmark, minted in 1675 during the reign of Christian V, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was made of gold that was 97.9% pure, which is unusually high for coins from that time period. Most coins from the 17th century were made of gold that was 90% to 95% pure. The high purity of the gold used in this coin makes it particularly sought after by collectors.
