Interesting fact
The Pattern 20 Markkaa coin from Finland, made of iron in 1954, features a unique design element - a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the design to make the coin easier to distinguish from other coins in circulation, particularly for the visually impaired. This feature has also led to the coin being affectionately nicknamed the "doughnut coin" among collectors.
