Interesting fact
The 1 Daler Silvermynt was a coin used in Sweden during the 17th century, and it was made of copper. Copper was a common material for coins at that time, as it was durable and had a low cost. However, the 1 Daler Silvermynt was unique because it was one of the largest copper coins ever minted, with a weight of 1670 grams. That's equivalent to about 3.6 pounds or 1.6 kilograms! Despite its large size, the coin was still widely used in Sweden and was considered a valuable form of currency.
