Interesting fact

The 3 Ducats coin was minted during the reign of King Frederick IV of Denmark, who ruled from 1699 to 1730. The coin was used as a means of payment and was widely accepted in trade, not only in Denmark but also in other European countries. However, it's worth noting that the coin's value was not fixed and its purchasing power varied depending on the economy and the value of gold at the time. Despite this, the 3 Ducats coin remained a popular and trusted form of currency for many years and is now highly sought after by collectors.
