Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the 8 Skilling coin from Norway, minted during the reign of Frederik IV (1702-1715), is that it was made of silver with a purity level of .750, which is relatively high compared to other coins of its time. This means that the coin contains 75% silver and 25% other metals, such as copper or nickel. This high silver content gives the coin a distinctive bright white color and makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
