Interesting fact

The 1 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V (1688-1699), features an interesting 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 the coins onto a string or cord, allowing them to be worn around the neck or attached to clothing. This design feature was commonly used in Scandinavian countries during the 17th and 18th centuries and is a unique characteristic of this coin.
