Interesting fact
The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Kristina (1633-1653), was made of Billon, which is an alloy of silver and copper. Specifically, it contains 37.5% silver and 62.5% copper. This composition was chosen to reduce the cost of producing the coin, as silver was a more expensive metal at the time. Despite the lower silver content, the coin still maintained its value and was widely used in Sweden during Kristina's reign.
