Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Skilling coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Carl XIV (1842-1843), is that it was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was a common practice in coinage during that time period. The use of Billon in coinage was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver, while still maintaining the value of the coin. The 2 Skilling coin weighs 1.5000 grams, which is relatively light compared to other coins of similar value.
