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 gold," which is an alloy of 97.9% gold and 2.1% silver. This blend was used specifically for the production of Norwegian coins during this time period, and it gives the coin a distinctive yellow-orange color that sets it apart from other gold coins.
