Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Speciedaler - Christian V (Accession) ND (1670) coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the importance of the king's role as the "shepherd of his people." It's a symbolic representation of the king's responsibility to guide and protect his subjects, and it sets this coin apart from other coins of its time.
