Interesting fact

The Pattern 16 Skilling coin from Denmark, minted in 1713 during the reign of King Frederik IV, is an extremely rare and valuable coin. It is made of gold and weighs 6.94 grams, which is unusual for a coin of its time. It is considered a "pattern" coin, meaning it was struck as a prototype or sample, and only a few examples were produced. As a result, it is highly sought after by collectors and is considered a prized addition to any numismatic collection.
