Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1746 Denmark 1 Ducat coin featuring Frederik V and the Christianborg ship is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in Denmark. That year, the country was facing economic difficulties and political turmoil, which led to the introduction of a new coinage system. The 1 Ducat coin was part of this new system, and it was designed to be a more reliable and stable currency than the previous coins. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable and sought-after collector's item today.
