Interesting fact
The 8 Skilling Dansk coin from Denmark, minted during the reign of Christian V (1694-1697), features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally drilled into the coin to indicate its authenticity and value. The practice of drilling holes in coins was common in Denmark during this time period, and it helped to prevent counterfeiting.
