Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling coin from Denmark, issued during the reign of King Frederik VI (1809-1810), features a unique design element - a straight neck-cut. This means that the neck of the coin is not curved or rounded, but instead has a straight edge that connects the head of the coin to the body. This design feature was used to make the coin easier to stack and store, and it's a distinct characteristic that sets it apart from other coins of the time.
