Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark 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 indicate its authenticity and to prevent counterfeiting. This feature is known as a "plug" or "hole punch" and was a common security measure used in coins during that time period.
