The 1 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of King Frederik I (1524-1533), features a unique design element - a small cross on the reverse side, which was added to the coin's design to indicate that it was made of silver. This small cross was a hallmark of the Norwegian mint and was used to ensure the authenticity of the coin. This feature makes the coin particularly interesting to collectors and historians, as it showcases the attention to detail and craftsmanship of the mint's engravers and artisans during that time period.
