Interesting fact
The 1 Hvid - Hans ND (1483-1513) silver coin from Norway was used as a means of payment during the reign of King Hans (also known as John) of Denmark and Norway. It was minted in the city of Oslo (then known as Christiania) and features an image of the king on one side and the Norwegian coat of arms on the other. The coin was used widely in trade and commerce throughout Norway and Denmark, and some examples have been found in archaeological excavations in the region. Despite being over 500 years old, some of these coins are still in circulation among collectors today, making them a valuable piece of history.
