Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted in 1629 during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at that time. However, the use of copper for coins was gradually phased out in the 17th century as the value of copper decreased, and other metals like silver and gold became more widely used. This coin is a rare example of a copper coin from that time period and is highly sought after by collectors.
