Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted in 1613 during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, is that it was made of Billon, an alloy of silver and copper, which was commonly used in coinage during that time period. The use of Billon in coinage was a way to stretch the limited supply of silver, while still maintaining the value of the coin. This coin, in particular, contains 25% silver and weighs 1.5 grams.
