The so-called "poker" coin. A purse with around 140 pieces of 1885 1 øre coins were discovered in England, and they had supposedly been used as poker chips. At first the coin were deemed as a forgery, as no one had seen the date in such a condition, and there is a difference in the lions mane. However there has later been discovered circulated specimens with the same dies, proving it is indeed a genuine coin.
