Interesting fact
The 8 Skilling coin from Norway, issued during the reign of King Frederik VI in 1809, features an interesting design element. The obverse side of the coin bears the image of the king, while the reverse side features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Norway. This design was used on many Norwegian coins during this period, but what makes the 8 Skilling coin stand out is the use of the Billon material, which is an alloy of silver and copper. The use of Billon was a common practice in European coinage during the 19th century, as it allowed for the production of coins with a lower silver content, making them more affordable to produce and circulate. The 8 Skilling coin, with its unique blend of metals and intricate design, remains a popular collector's item among numismatists today.
