Interesting fact
The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Charles XI (1661-1664), was made of copper and weighed 17.7 grams. Despite its relatively small size and weight, this coin was an important part of Sweden's currency system at the time, and it remained in circulation for many years. In fact, the 1 Öre coin was still being used as legal tender in Sweden until the early 20th century! That's a testament to the durability and longevity of this coin, which has been a part of Sweden's history for over 350 years.
