Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Ducats - Frederik V (Christiansborg) 1747 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 into the coin to signify the "eye of the king," representing the king's watchful eye over his kingdom. This distinctive feature sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and adds to its historical and numismatic significance.
