Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sølvgylden - Christian II (Malmo) 1523 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Malmo, the city where the coin was minted, located on the reverse side of the coin. This addition was a special touch added by the mint master, Anders Mouritsen, to distinguish the coin from other coins minted during the same period.
