Comment
This coin is three times thicker than km#428 but has same sizeInteresting fact
The 3 Krone coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V (1693-1696), features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to prevent it from being counterfeited, as it was difficult to replicate the intricate details of the coin's design using the technology available at the time. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of the era and adds to its unique historical significance.
