Comment
The weight can vary from 16,58gr to 18,37gr, due to its edge over the crown being cut during mintage.Interesting fact
The 2 Mark Dansk coin featuring Christian IV of Denmark was minted in 1604, and it's made of silver with a purity of .646. That's a relatively high silver content compared to many other coins of its time, which makes it a valuable and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
