Comment
Same size of 1 Krone but twice thickerInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Krone - Frederik III (Full motto; clockwise) 1651 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique error on the obverse side. The coin was minted with a misprinted date, showing the year "1651" instead of "1650". This error makes the coin particularly rare and valuable among collectors.
