Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Skilling Dansk 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 without having to read the inscription. This feature is known as a "hole-punched" coin and was a common feature in coins of that era.
