Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats coin from Denmark, issued in 1699 during the reign of Christian V, features an interesting design element - a depiction of a crowned lion holding a shield with the Danish coat of arms. This image symbolizes the power and authority of the Danish monarchy during that time.
