Interesting fact

The ⅙ Skilling coin was minted during the reign of King Carl XIV Johan, who was the first king of the House of Bernadotte, a royal house that ruled Sweden from 1818 to 1907. The coin features an image of the king on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. It was made of copper and weighed 2.8 grams, which was a relatively small weight for a coin at that time. Despite its small size, the coin was an important part of Sweden's currency system and was used widely in everyday transactions.
