Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1640-1641 Christian IV 1/16 Reichs Thaler coin from Denmark is that it features a unique legend type I design on the obverse side, which includes a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Denmark and Norway, surrounded by the inscription "CHRISTIAN IV D.G. Rex Daniae" (Christian IV, by the grace of God, King of Denmark). This design was only used for a short period of time during Christian IV's reign, making it a distinctive feature of this particular coin.
