Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1 Ducat - Frederik IV (Accession; pattern silver strike) ND (1699) from Denmark is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a crowned shield with the royal coat of arms, while the reverse features a crowned mantle with the inscription "FREDERICUS IV DANIÆ REX" (Frederick IV, King of Denmark). This design was created specifically for this coin and was never used on any other coin, making it a truly one-of-a-kind piece for collectors.
