Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Charles XI in 1665, is that it was made of Billon, an alloy of copper and silver, which was a common practice in Europe during that time period. The use of Billon in coinage was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver, while still maintaining the value of the coin. This coin, in particular, contains 31.3% silver and weighs 1.23 grams. Despite its relatively small size and composition, it remains a valuable piece of numismatic history.
