Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1687-1688, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to make it easier for people to thread a string or cord through it, allowing them to wear the coin as a pendant or amulet. This feature was particularly useful for the poor and working class, who often wore coins as a form of protection or good luck charm. This interesting fact highlights the cultural and social significance of coins beyond their monetary value.
