Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1673, features a unique 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 it as an amulet or pendant. This feature was particularly useful for sailors, who often wore coins as talismans to protect them on their voyages.
