Interesting fact
The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted in 1628 during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, was made of copper and features the king's portrait on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Sweden. The country was in the midst of a period of rapid urbanization and industrialization, and the introduction of this new coinage system was intended to help facilitate trade and commerce. Despite the challenges of the time, the coin remains a valuable piece of Swedish history and a testament to the country's resilience and innovation.
