Interesting fact
The 1 Krone coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Christian V in 1699, features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to prevent it from being counterfeited, as it was difficult to replicate the intricate details of the coin's design using the technology available at the time. This feature, known as a "counterfeit-proof" measure, was a pioneering effort in the field of coinage and has since been adopted by other countries in their own coin designs.
