Comment
This is very similar to the KM#301. Other sources have lumped this coin in with previous years, though this example is noticeably different.I finally found another example of this coin on www.icollectall.com, it lists as KM# 313 and Sieg 88.
Interesting fact
The 1 Speciedaler coin from Norway, issued during the reign of King Carl XIV in 1844, 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 make it easier for people to thread the coins onto a string or cord, allowing them to be worn around the neck or attached to clothing. This practical feature was particularly useful for the working class, who often needed to carry their money with them while on the job.
