Interesting fact

The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, issued during the reign of Erik XIV in 1564, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of Billon, a metal alloy containing only 0.156 silver, it weighs 2.65 grams, which is relatively heavy for a coin of its size and composition. This suggests that the coin may have been intended for use in trade and commerce, rather than as a symbol of royal power or prestige.
