Interesting fact
The Pattern 1 Krone - Frederik IV (Pattern) 1699-1700 from Denmark made of Gold weighing 17 g is a rare and valuable coin, with only a few known examples surviving to this day. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Denmark, known as the "Great Northern War" (1700-1721), which makes its survival and preservation even more remarkable.
