Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Christian V (Silver pattern strike) ND (1675) from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was believed to have been used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was said to be visible only on genuine coins and not on counterfeits. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it showcases the innovative techniques used by mint officials to prevent counterfeiting in the 17th century.
