Comment
Size of this coin is as a half dukat, but planchet is four times thicker.Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1675, is an interesting piece of history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of gold that was 97.9% pure, which was a high level of purity for gold coins at that time. This indicates that the coin was made with a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, reflecting the advanced minting techniques of Denmark during the 17th century.
