Comment
This coin is four times thicker than km#428 but has same sizeInteresting fact
The 4 Krone coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1693, features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to make it easier for people to thread a string or cord through it, allowing them to wear the coin as an amulet or pendant. This unique feature was believed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer.
