Comment
Please note: the 1 öre of Carl XI (1660-1697) bears the same reference as the 1 öre of his successor Carl II (1697-1718) in the Krause catalog: 250a. In reality, these are two different coins, as the monogram of each sovereign is distinct.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Charles XI (1686-1697), 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 25% silver and weighs 1.23 grams.
