Interesting fact

The 1 Penning coin from Visby, Gotland (Sweden) made of Silver weighing 0.15g was used as a form of currency during the 13th century. It's fascinating to think that this small, silver coin was once used to purchase goods and services, and it's a reminder of the rich history and cultural heritage of Sweden.
