Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat - Christian IV (Hebræermønt) coin was issued during the reign of King Christian IV of Denmark, who ruled from 1588 to 1648. The coin was minted in gold (.979) and weighs 3.49 grams. It's interesting to note that the coin's design features a unique blend of Christian and Hebrew symbols, reflecting the religious diversity of the time. The coin's obverse side features an image of King Christian IV, while the reverse side features the Hebrew letters "YHWH" (Yod-Heh-Vav-Heh), which represent the name of God in the Hebrew language. This blending of religious symbols was a deliberate choice made by King Christian IV, who sought to promote religious tolerance and understanding in his kingdom.
