Interesting fact
The coin features an error in the inscription on the reverse side, which reads "FREDERICUS III DEI GRATIA" instead of the correct "FREDERICUS III DEI GRATIA KING" (or "KONGE" in Danish). This error was caused by a mistake in the engraving process and was not corrected, making it a unique feature of this particular coin.
