Comment
Exists also in gold istead of silver with value of 10 Dukaten (or 1 Portugaløser) but is of greatest rarityInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Mark Dansk - Frederik II (Copenhagen) 1563 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to signify that it had been tested for its purity and weight, as was the practice during that time period. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its era and adds to its historical significance.
