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 traditional medieval currency system, which was based on silver and gold coins, to a new system based on copper coins. This coin, which was minted during this transitional period, is a rare example of a silver coin that was produced during a time when copper coins were becoming more widely used.
