Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Skilling - Christian III (Roskilde) 1535 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which is not typically found on other coins from this era. This cross is believed to have been added to the coin's design to symbolize the Christian faith of King Christian III, who ruled Denmark from 1534 to 1559. This coin is a rare and valuable example of early Nordic coinage, and its unique design features make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
