Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Skilling coin from the Archbishopric of Nidaros (Norway) is that it features an image of Olav Engelbrektsson, who was the last Catholic Archbishop of Norway before the Protestant Reformation. He played a significant role in Norway's transition to Lutheranism and was instrumental in the development of the Norwegian Lutheran Church. The coin's design serves as a reminder of Norway's rich history and cultural heritage.
