Interesting fact
The 4 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, minted between 1690 and 1692, features an error in the legend on the reverse side. The word "Dansk" is misspelled as "Danske" in the phrase "Kongeriget Danmark" (Kingdom of Denmark). This error was corrected in later mintages, making the misspelled coins a unique and interesting collector's item.
