Interesting fact

The ½ Skilling coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Carl XIII (1815-1817), features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the king, with a distinctive crown on his head. This crown is actually a representation of the "Kungshögarna," a historic royal crown that has been used in Sweden's coronation ceremonies since the 16th century. The inclusion of this symbol on the coin highlights the rich history and cultural heritage of Sweden, and serves as a reminder of the country's long-standing monarchical traditions.
