Interesting fact

The Pattern 12 Skilling - Christian V ND from Norway, made of Silver (.672) weighing 4.18 g, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1741, during the reign of King Christian VI of Denmark-Norway, and it was intended to be used as a new standard coinage for Norway. However, due to the high cost of production and the lack of acceptance by the public, the project was ultimately abandoned, making this coin a unique and highly sought-after collector's item.
