Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Skilling Dansk - Christian VII (Value type) 1773-1783 coin from Denmark is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was intentionally placed there by the mint to signify the coin's value, as it was believed that the hole would make it easier for people to tell the coin's denomination.
