Interesting fact
The 25 Øre coin from Norway, minted in 1876 during the reign of King Oscar II, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.600), it weighs only 2.4 grams, which is relatively light for a coin of its size and metal composition. This is due to the fact that the coin was designed with a thin rim, which allowed for a smaller diameter and therefore a lighter weight. This design choice was likely made to make the coin more practical for everyday use, as it was intended to be a widely circulating denomination.
