Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Öre - Gustav II Adolf (Säter or Nyköping mint; pattern strike) 1625 from Sweden made of Copper is that it features a unique design that was never used on any other Swedish coin. The obverse of the coin depicts a portrait of King Gustav II Adolf, while the reverse features a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Sweden. This design was only used on a small number of pattern coins struck at the Säter or Nyköping mint in 1625, making it a highly sought-after collector's item among numismatists.
