Interesting fact

The 1 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian II (1513-1523), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was made of silver. This small cross was a hallmark of the Norwegian mint and was used to guarantee the coin's authenticity and purity.
