Interesting fact

The Pattern 1 Krone - Frederik IV (Pattern) 1699 from Denmark made of Gold weighing 34.65g is a rare and valuable coin, with only 200 pieces minted. It is considered a "pattern" coin, meaning it was produced as a trial or sample coin, and not intended for circulation. This coin is particularly interesting because it features a unique design, with a portrait of King Frederik IV on one side and a crowned shield with the Danish coat of arms on the other. Additionally, the coin's gold content and limited mintage make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
