Interesting fact

The Pattern 5 Markkaa coin from Finland, made of Brass in 1950, features a unique design element - a hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the design to make it easier for people to thread the coin onto a string or chain, allowing it to be worn as a pendant or amulet. This unique feature sets the coin apart from other coins of its time and makes it a fascinating collector's item.
