Interesting fact
The 1 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1686, 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 a string or cord through it, allowing them to wear the coin as a pendant or amulet. This unique feature was a common practice in medieval Europe, particularly in Scandinavian countries, and was believed to bring good luck and protection to the wearer.
