Interesting fact

The 1 Krone coin from Norway, featuring King Olav V, has a unique feature that sets it apart from other coins. The coin's rim is not circular, but instead has a wavy or "dented" shape, which gives it a distinctive look and feel. This design element was added to help the visually impaired distinguish the coin from others in circulation.
