Interesting fact

The ½ Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1682, was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. Specifically, it contains 0.125 silver, which is a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of its time. Despite this, the coin still weighs 0.73 grams, which is a significant amount for a coin of its size and composition. This interesting fact highlights the historical use of Billon in coinage and the importance of the ½ Skilling coin in Norway's monetary system during the 17th century.
