Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V (1688-1699), features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to make it easier for people to thread a string or cord through it, allowing them to wear the coin as a pendant or amulet. This unique feature was a common practice in Scandinavian countries during the 17th and 18th centuries, and it adds an extra layer of historical and cultural significance to the coin.
