Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre - Johan III (Type IIA) 1575-1590 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 currency system. The 1 Öre coin was part of this new system, and it was designed to be a more accessible and widely used coin than previous issues. Despite being made of a relatively low-value material, the Billon (.250 silver) used in the coin's production gave it a distinctive look and feel that made it stand out from other coins of the time. Today, this coin is a sought-after collector's item and a reminder of a pivotal moment in Swedish history.
