Interesting fact
The 2 Krone coin from Denmark, minted in 1747 during the reign of King Frederik V, features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin's design to prevent it from being counterfeited, as it was difficult to replicate the detail in the center of the coin without access to advanced machinery. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds an extra layer of authenticity to its design.
