Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Denier Bracteate coin from Sweden is that it was minted during the reign of King Magnus IV Ericson, who ruled Sweden from 1354 to 1363. This coin was a standard circulation coin made of silver and weighed only 0.095 grams, making it a relatively small and lightweight coin for its time. Despite its small size, the coin still held significant value and was widely used in trade and commerce during the 14th century.
