Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre "Klippingar" coin from Sweden is that it was issued during a time of great economic turmoil in the country. The coin was introduced by King Gustav II Adolf in 1625 as part of a series of emergency measures aimed at addressing a severe shortage of coinage in circulation. The coin was made of copper, which was a relatively cheap and abundant metal at the time, and it was designed to be easily distinguishable from other coins in circulation. Despite its humble origins, the 1 Öre "Klippingar" coin has become a sought-after collector's item among numismatists today.
