Comment
Weight may vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre - Johan III (Type I) 1575 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. Johan III, who ruled Sweden from 1568 to 1592, implemented a number of reforms during his reign, including the introduction of a new coinage system. The 1 Öre coin was part of this new system and was designed to replace the older copper coins that had been in use for centuries. Despite being made of a copper alloy, the 1 Öre coin was still considered a significant improvement over the older coins and helped to modernize Sweden's economy.
