Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Frederik III 1669 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it was made of pure gold and to prevent people from trying to alter its weight or composition. This feature makes the coin particularly distinctive and valuable among collectors.
