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 indicate its authenticity and value. It's an interesting fact that this coin, despite being made of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, has a relatively high silver content of 0.406, making it a valuable collector's item.
