Interesting fact
The 2 Gold Krone coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of King Frederik III in 1666, is an interesting piece of numismatic history. One fascinating fact about this coin is that it was made of .917 gold, which is a high percentage of gold content for a circulating coin. This means that the coin was made of a very pure form of gold, which was unusual for coins at that time. Additionally, the coin weighs 6 grams, which is a significant weight for a coin of its size. This, combined with its high gold content, makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
