Interesting fact
The Hvid-John I (Aalborg) coin was minted during a time of great change in Denmark. It was issued during the reign of King John I (also known as Hans of Denmark), who ruled from 1483 to 1513. During his reign, Denmark underwent significant political and economic reforms, including the establishment of a new coinage system. The Hvid-John I coin was part of this new system and was used widely throughout the country. Despite its small size and relatively low value, the coin is now highly sought after by collectors due to its historical significance and rarity.
