Interesting fact

The 10 Ducats coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian IV (1604-1610), is notable for its unique design feature - it has a hole in the center, which was used to thread a cord or chain through, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This design element was a common feature in coins of the time, but it's a distinctive aspect of this particular coin.
