Interesting fact
The 24 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian VI (1734-1735), features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the minting process and was used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was meant to ensure that the coin was made of pure silver, as the metal was valuable and often counterfeited. The presence of the hole in the center of the coin made it difficult for counterfeiters to produce fake coins, as they would have to drill a similar hole in the center of their fake coins. This feature, known as a "test cut," was a common security measure used in coins during that time period.
