Interesting fact

The 2 Mark coin from Norway featuring Christian V, made of silver (.833) and weighing 8.99g, is interesting because it was minted during a time when Norway was still under Danish rule. The coin was issued by the Danish King Christian V in 1699, and it features the king's name and title in Latin on one side, and the Norwegian coat of arms on the other. This coin is a rare and valuable piece of Norwegian numismatic history, and it serves as a reminder of the country's rich cultural heritage.
