Interesting fact
The 4 Mark Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V (1671-1674), features a unique plain monogram design on the obverse side. This was a departure from the more intricate designs that were common on coins of that time, and it was done to simplify the production process and reduce the cost of minting. Despite the simpler design, the coin still maintains a high level of craftsmanship and attention to detail, making it a sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
