Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre Silvermynt - Charles XI 1669-1673 from Sweden is that it was made of copper, despite its name "Silvermynt" which means "silver coin" in Swedish. This suggests that the coin was intended to resemble a silver coin in appearance and value, but was actually made of a less valuable metal to save on production costs. This practice of making coins with a lower value metal than their face value was common in Sweden during the 17th century, and is known as "token coinage."
