Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it features an error in the inscription. The Latin inscription on the coin reads "CHRISTIANVS IV D G Rex Daniæ" which means "Christian IV, by the grace of God, King of Denmark". However, there is a mistake in the spelling of the word "Daniæ" which should be spelled "Daniae". This error makes the coin particularly unique and valuable to collectors.
