Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted in 1627 during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, is that it was made using a unique method called "plated coining." This method involved placing a thin layer of a more valuable metal, such as silver or gold, onto a base metal like copper to create the coin. This process was used to create a more durable and visually appealing coin, as copper was prone to wear and tear. The use of plated coining was a common practice during this time period, but it's an interesting fact that adds to the rich history of this coin.
