Comment
Diameter is 17.5 mm - 18.0 mmInteresting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Öre Silvermynt - Ulrika Eleonora 1720 from Sweden is that it was minted during a time when Sweden was experiencing a severe shortage of copper, which was the primary metal used for coinage at the time. To address this issue, the Swedish government decided to introduce a new coin made of Billon, a copper-silver alloy, which was cheaper and more readily available than pure copper. This coin was the first of its kind in Sweden and paved the way for the use of Billon in future coinage.
