Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin from Denmark, minted in 1688 during the reign of Christian V, features an unusual design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for purity and weight, ensuring that it met the high standards of the Danish mint. This unique feature sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
