Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Christian IV of Denmark, who ruled from 1588 to 1648. He was known for his extensive building projects, including the construction of the famous Rosenberg Castle in Copenhagen, and this coin was likely used to help finance some of these projects.
