Interesting fact
The 3 Ducats coin from Norway, minted in 1673 during the reign of Christian V, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted using a unique blend of gold, known as "Kristiania gull," which is a combination of 97.9% gold and 2.1% silver. This blend of gold was specific to Norway and was used in the minting of several coins during this period. The use of this unique gold alloy adds to the coin's rarity and historical significance, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
