Interesting fact
The 2 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, issued in 1671 during the reign of Christian V, features a unique plain monogram design on the obverse side. This was a departure from the more intricate designs that were common on coins of that time, and it was done intentionally to make the coin easier to produce and harder to counterfeit. Despite its simplicity, the coin still maintains a high level of historical and numismatic value, making it a sought-after collector's item among coin enthusiasts.
