Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Mark/4 Öre "Klippingar" coin from Sweden is that it was made of Billon, a metal alloy that contains only 0.090 silver, which was a relatively low percentage of silver compared to other coins of its time. Despite this, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in Sweden during the reign of Johan III (1590-1592).
