Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Sølvgylden - Christian III (Flensborg) 1547 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small shield with the coat of arms of Flensburg, a city in northern Germany, which was an important trading center during the time of Christian III's reign. This shield is located on the reverse side of the coin, beneath the king's name. This feature sets the coin apart from other coins of the same era and denomination, and highlights the significance of Flensburg in the region's trade and commerce.
