One interesting fact about the 4 Skilling - Gustav Vasa (Type III) 1535 coin from Sweden is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to signify the "eye of the king," representing the king's watchful eye over his subjects. This design element was a distinct feature of Swedish coins during the 16th century and can be found on several other coins from the same era.
