Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1564 Denmark 1 Crown coin made of Gold (.986) is that it was minted during the reign of King Frederick II, who was known for his military conquests and his efforts to modernize and strengthen the Danish state. The coinage of this period, including the 1 Crown coin, was minted to help finance the Danish military efforts during the Seven Years' War.
