Interesting fact
The 1 Speciedaler coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1671-1672, features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the manufacturing process and was used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was filled with a small amount of silver, and if the coin was counterfeit, the hole would be empty or filled with a different metal. This feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value.
