Interesting fact

The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, featuring Kristina I (Avesta) and made of copper, was used as a means of payment during a time of great economic change in Sweden. The coin was introduced in 1644, and it's interesting to note that during this time, Sweden was transitioning from a primarily agricultural society to a more industrialized one. The coin's production was a response to the growing need for a standardized currency that could facilitate trade and commerce. Despite its relatively small value, the 1 Öre coin played an important role in the Swedish economy during this period.
