Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Speciedaler - Frederik III 1657-1658 coin from Norway is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting 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 silver would have been missing or have a different appearance. This feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and ensure the coin's value and authenticity.
