Interesting fact
The 50 Øre coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Oscar II (1877-1904), has an interesting feature. It has a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin, known as a "nought" or "zero." This hole was added to the coin to help distinguish it from other coins of similar value, and to make it easier for people to tell apart. This feature is not commonly found in coins from other countries, making it a distinctive characteristic of Norwegian currency.
