Interesting fact
The Pattern ⅙ Skilling - Charles XIV Johan (Pattern strike) 1831 from Sweden was minted during a time of great change in Sweden's monetary system. In the early 19th century, Sweden was transitioning from a system of local currencies to a national currency, and the Pattern ⅙ Skilling coin was one of the first coins to be minted as part of this new system. This coin is a rare and valuable example of this transitional period in Swedish numismatics.
