Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling coin from Gotland (Sweden) made of Silver weighing 1.32g is interesting because it was issued during the reign of Christian III of Denmark and Norway, who was also the Duke of Holstein and Schleswig. This coin was part of a series of coins issued during his reign to standardize the currency across his territories. Despite being a small coin, it has a rich history and is a valuable collector's item for numismatists today.
