Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats coin from Norway, minted in 1697 during the reign of Christian V, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted with a unique feature - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate that it was made of pure gold, as gold was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The hole was also used as a way to test the authenticity of the coin, as it was difficult to counterfeit a coin with a small hole in the center. This feature makes the 2 Ducats coin from Norway a distinctive and highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
