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 a small crown on the obverse (front) side, which was a design element that was unique to coins minted during his reign. This feature helps to distinguish the coin from other coins minted in Denmark during different time periods. Additionally, the coin is made of silver, which was a common material used for coins in Europe during the 17th century.
