Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling Courant coin from Norway, issued during the reign of King Frederik VI (1810-1811), 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 working class, who often did not have access to pockets or other means of securely carrying small coins.
