Interesting fact

The 2 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Frederik V (1747-1756), features an interesting 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 a string or cord through it, allowing them to wear it as an amulet or pendant. This unique feature was believed to bring good luck and protect the wearer from harm.
