Interesting fact
The 1 Ducat coin was minted during the reign of King Frederik III of Denmark, who ruled from 1648 to 1670. The coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in trade, not only in Denmark but also in other European countries. It was made of gold (.979) and weighed 3.49 grams, making it a valuable and sought-after coin among collectors and investors. It's worth noting that the coin's design features an image of King Frederik III on one side and the Danish coat of arms on the other. The coin's mintage was relatively low, with only 2,000 coins produced during its production run, which adds to its rarity and value. Today, the 1 Ducat - Frederik III 1662-1664 coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
