Interesting fact
The 16 Skilling Dansk coin features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate its value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin apart from other coins of similar value. This design feature is known as a "hole-punched" coin and was a common feature in coins of that time period.
