Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1730 Christian VI (Christianborg; type I) 1 Ducat coin 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 added to symbolize the connection between the coin and the divine. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
