Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was used as a means of payment in Denmark and Norway during the reign of Christian V, and it was also used as a symbol of the king's power and influence. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other, signifying the king's authority and the unity of the two countries under his rule.
