Interesting fact
The 5 Øre coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Oscar II (1875-1902), features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the design to help distinguish the coin from other denominations, particularly the 10 Øre coin, which did not have a hole. This feature makes the 5 Øre coin easily identifiable and a popular collector's item.
