Interesting fact

The Pattern 2 Skilling - Christian VII (Pattern) 1785 from Norway, made of Gold weighing 3g, is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Norway's monetary system. In the late 18th century, Norway was transitioning from a system of bartering to a system of standardized coinage, and the Pattern 2 Skilling was one of the first coins minted during this period. Its unique design and limited production make it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
