Norway 1810 2 Skilling Courant Copper Coin Holed (Two Holes) - Frederik VI 1810 Norwegian 2 Skilling Courant Two Holes for Button Use

This listing is for the Frederik VI 1810 Norwegian 2 Skilling Courant Two Holes for Button Use. The most striking feature of this coin is the two clean, circular holes manually punched through the center. Spaced precisely to accommodate a needle and thread, these holes transformed the currency into a heavy-duty copper button. This was a common practice in 19th-century Scandinavia, where coins were often repurposed for traditional folk costumes (bunad) or as a way to "wear" one's wealth during the economic hardships of the Napoleonic Wars. Intersting Find!!!
