Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Speciedaler - Frederik III (Akershus) ND (1661) 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 into the coin to signify its authenticity and value. This feature was common in coins of that era and was known as a "proof mark." It was believed that only authentic coins would have this hole, and it helped to prevent counterfeiting.
