Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V (1675-1683), 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 the coins onto a string or cord, allowing them to be worn around the neck or attached to clothing. This design feature was particularly useful for the lower denomination coins, like the 2 Skilling, which were used for everyday transactions.
