Interesting fact
The ½ Öre coin was the smallest denomination coin in circulation during Oscar I's reign, and it was made of bronze, a metal that was widely used for coinage during that time period. Despite its small size, the coin still featured a detailed design, including an image of King Oscar I on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. This coin is a great example of how even the smallest denominations can have interesting historical and cultural significance.
