Interesting fact

The 24 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Frederik V (1746-1763), features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the manufacturing process and served as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The hole was meant to ensure that the coin was made of pure silver, as silver is a soft metal that can be easily dented or punctured. By drilling a small hole in the coin, officials could verify that the coin was indeed made of silver, and not a cheaper metal. This unique feature makes the 24 Skilling coin stand out among other coins of its time and adds an extra layer of authenticity to its design.
