Comment
Size of half dukat but double thicknessInteresting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was used as a means of payment in Denmark and Norway during the reign of King Christian V in the late 17th century. It was made of gold and had a value of 3.44 grams, which was a significant amount at the time. Despite its value, the coin was not widely used due to its small denomination, and it was eventually replaced by larger denomination coins. Today, the 1 Ducat coin is a rare and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
