One interesting fact about the ½ Öre - Gustav II Adolf (Arrows) 1627-1631 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change and turmoil in Sweden's history. Gustav II Adolf, also known as Gustavus Adolphus, was the King of Sweden from 1611 to 1632 and is best known for his military campaigns in Europe during the Thirty Years' War. This coin was minted during his reign and features an image of him on one side and a crowned shield with arrows on the other. Despite the turmoil of the time, this coin remained a standard circulation coin in Sweden and is now a sought-after collector's item.
