Interesting fact
The 1 Hvid - Frederik III 1651 coin from Denmark was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, what's interesting is that the coin was designed with a unique feature - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally made to indicate that the coin was made of copper, as opposed to other metals like silver or gold. This feature was used for a short period of time and was later discontinued, making the coin a rare and interesting collector's item.
