Interesting fact

The 24 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Oscar I (1845-1855), features a unique design element - a small crown on the obverse side, which was added to symbolize the king's role as the "Crown Prince of Sweden and Norway." This coin was minted during a time when Norway was still in a personal union with Sweden, and the crown was a nod to the shared monarchy.
