Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Hvid - Christian IV (Type 2) ND (1618-1620) from Denmark is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Denmark. Christian IV, who ruled from 1588 to 1648, implemented a number of reforms aimed at strengthening the Danish economy and military, including the introduction of a new coinage system. The 1 Hvid coin was part of this new system and was used widely throughout Denmark during this period. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is a significant piece of Danish history and a testament to the efforts of Christian IV to modernize and strengthen his country.
