Interesting fact
The ½ Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1676, is interesting because it was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was a common practice in Europe during that time period. The use of Billon in coinage was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver, while still maintaining the value of the coin. This coin, in particular, contains only 0.125 silver, which is a relatively low percentage, but it was still considered a valuable and reliable form of currency during its time.
