Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling Banco coin from Sweden, issued during the reign of Carl XIV Johan (1835-1843), 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 prevent it from being used as a button or other object, as the value of the coin was considered too low to be used as currency. This interesting fact highlights the coin's historical significance and the creative ways in which coin designers have sought to prevent counterfeiting and misuse.
