Interesting fact

The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1673, 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 has made the coin a popular collector's item among numismatists and history enthusiasts.
