Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Carl XIV (1822-1834), 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 make it easier for people to thread the coins onto a string or cord, allowing them to be worn around the neck or attached to clothing. This unique feature was a practical solution for the time, as many people in Norway did not have access to pockets or purses to carry their coins in.
