Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 3 Speciedaler coin from Denmark is that it was issued during the reign of King Christian IV, who was known for his ambitious economic and military reforms. The coin's design features the king's bust on one side and the oval provincial shields on the other, which represents the unity of the provinces under the Danish crown. Additionally, the coin was made of silver with a purity of .875, which was a significant improvement in the coinage standard compared to previous issues.
