Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Skilling coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Christian V (1687-1688), is that it was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and copper, which was commonly used in the production of coins during that time period. The use of Billon was a cost-effective way to produce coins, as it was less expensive than using pure silver. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the 2 Skilling coin still held significant value and was widely used in circulation.
