Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederik IV (Christiansborg) 1701-1704 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled in the coin to signify that it was made of pure gold and to prevent people from filling it with cheaper metals. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its historical significance.
