Interesting fact
The 1 Öre coin from Sweden featuring Gustav II Adolf, also known as the "Säter Mint" or "Type II" coin, was minted in 1629 and made of copper. 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 inflation, and the value of copper coins like this one was decreasing rapidly. Despite this, the coin still holds significant historical value and is highly sought after by collectors today.
