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 and Norway from 1319 to 1364. This coin was minted in 1363-1364, which was during the last few years of King Magnus' reign. It's fascinating to think that this coin was used in everyday transactions during that time period and has survived to this day as a piece of history.
