Interesting fact
The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, featuring Oscar II with extra large letters, was minted from 1879 to 1905. During this time, Sweden was still using the gold standard, which meant that the value of the coin was equivalent to a certain amount of gold. Specifically, one Öre was equal to 1/16 of a gram of gold. This coin was made of bronze, which is a copper-based alloy, and weighed 2 grams. Despite being made of a relatively inexpensive material, the coin was still considered valuable due to its connection to the gold standard.
