Interesting fact

One interesting fact about the ½ Denier Bracteate coin from Sweden is that it was issued during the reign of King Magnus IV Ericson, who ruled Sweden from 1363 to 1364. Despite his short reign, Magnus IV played an important role in the history of Sweden, particularly in the country's transition from a tributary state to a kingdom. This coin, made of silver and weighing only 0.09 grams, is a testament to the economic and monetary systems of Sweden during that time period.
