Interesting fact
The 1 Krone coin from the Danish duchies of Schleswig and Holstein, minted in 1693 during the reign of Christian V, features an interesting fact. Despite being made of silver, the coin was not minted in a traditional round shape. Instead, it was minted in a unique octagonal shape, which was a departure from the standard round coin design used in other parts of Europe at the time. This distinctive shape made the coin easily recognizable and helped to prevent counterfeiting.
