Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the Standard circulation coin 4 Mark - Christian V 1688-1699 from Norway made of Silver (.672) weighing 22.27 g is that it was minted during a time when Norway was still under Danish rule, as Norway did not become an independent country until 1814. Despite this, the coin still features the image of King Christian V of Denmark on one side and the Norwegian coat of arms on the other, highlighting the complex political history of the region during that time.
