Interesting fact
One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during the reign of King Frederik III of Denmark, who ruled from 1648 to 1670. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the value of the coin, "2 Mark Dansk," on the other side. The use of the name "Dansk" on the coin reflects the king's efforts to promote a sense of Danish national identity and unity during his reign.
