Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 1 Hvid - Frederik II (Frederiksborg) 1582-1583 from Denmark is that it was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. This was a common practice during that time period, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still holds historical significance and is a valuable collector's item today.
