Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederik IV (Christiansborg; "GUINEA" in exergue) 1704 (1704-1706) coin from Denmark is that it was minted during a time of economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system implemented by King Frederick IV in 1704, which aimed to stabilize the Danish economy and simplify trade. The coin's design, featuring the king's portrait and the inscription "GUINEA" in the exergue, was meant to symbolize the country's growing wealth and power. Despite its historical significance, the coin is relatively rare and highly sought after by collectors today.
