Interesting fact

The 1 Penning coin from Gotland (Sweden) made of Silver weighing 0.16g, minted during the reign of King Frederik I (Visby) in 1530, is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists. Its rarity is due to the fact that it was minted during a time of economic and political turmoil in Sweden, which led to a limited number of coins being produced. As a result, the surviving coins are highly sought after by collectors, making them valuable and highly prized additions to any collection.
