Interesting fact
The 24 Skilling Dansk coin featuring Christian IV of Denmark was minted in 1624, and it's notable for having a unique feature - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate its authenticity and value. The hole was created by drilling a small hole in the die used to stamp the coin, and it's said that only coins with this hole are considered genuine. This feature was used to prevent counterfeiting and to ensure the coin's value.
