Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Ducat - Frederik IV (Christiansborg; "GUINEA" in legend) 1708-1725 from Denmark is that it was minted during a time when Denmark was experiencing a period of economic growth and prosperity, known as the "Danish Golden Age." This period saw a significant increase in trade and commerce, and the introduction of new currency, like the 1 Ducat, helped to facilitate this growth.
