Interesting fact
The 2 Mark Dansk coin featuring Frederik III of Denmark was minted during a time of great change in the country. In 1653, the year the coin was first minted, Denmark was in the midst of a devastating war with Sweden, known as the Second Northern War. Despite the challenges posed by the war, the coin's design remained relatively unchanged during Frederik III's reign, with the obverse featuring the king's portrait and the reverse bearing the coat of arms of Denmark. This consistency in design reflects the stability and continuity that the coin represented during a time of turmoil.
