Interesting fact

The 1 Öre coin from Sweden, minted between 1874 and 1877, features a unique design element - the portrait of King Oscar II is depicted in small letters, which is different from the larger letters used in other coins of the same denomination. This design variation was implemented to indicate that the coin was minted during a time of economic hardship and was intended to be used for smaller transactions.
