Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of Christian IV of Denmark, who was known for his extensive reforms and development projects, including the establishment of a new coinage system. This coin, the 1 Hvid, was part of that system and was widely used throughout Denmark during the early 17th century.
