Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Ducat - Christian V (Pattern) ND (1670-1695) from Norway is a rare and unique coin, with only a few examples known to exist. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Norway's monetary system. In the late 17th century, Norway was transitioning from using the Danish rigsdaler as its main currency to introducing the Norwegian speciedaler. This coin, minted during that transition period, features a unique blend of both the old and new monetary systems, making it a fascinating piece of numismatic history.
