Interesting fact
The 4 Mark coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian V in 1686, features an interesting design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled during the manufacturing process and was believed to have been used as a way to test the coin's authenticity. The idea behind this design was that only a genuine coin made of pure silver would have a clean, round hole, while a counterfeit coin made of a cheaper metal would have a rough or jagged edge around the hole. This unique feature makes the 4 Mark coin from Christian V's reign a distinctive and sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
