Interesting fact
The ¼ Portugaloser coin from Denmark, minted in 1629 during the reign of Christian IV, is a rare and valuable coin that is highly sought after by collectors. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique blend of gold and silver, known as "Gold .979," which gives it a distinctive color and texture that sets it apart from other coins of its time. This blend of metals was a deliberate choice made by the mint masters to create a coin that would stand out and be easily recognizable, and it has become a defining feature of this particular coin.
