Interesting fact

The 1 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian VII in 1771, 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 design feature was a common practice in Scandinavian countries during that time period, and it adds an interesting historical context to the coin.
