Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 1 Penning - Christian IV 1602 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to signify the coin's value, as it was believed that the hole represented the coin's "soul" or intrinsic value. This design element was a distinct feature of coins minted during Christian IV's reign and is a notable aspect of the coin's history and significance.
