Interesting fact
The 8 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of Christian IV in 1643, features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally added to the coin to indicate its authenticity and value, as it was believed that counterfeiters would not be able to replicate this feature. This innovative security measure was a pioneering effort in the field of coinage and has since been adopted by other countries in their own currency designs.
