Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Skilling Dansk - Christian IV 1619 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to indicate its value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin's denomination simply by feeling it. This feature is known as a "window" or "eye" in numismatic terminology.
