One interesting fact about this coin is that it was used as a form of currency in the medieval period in Sweden, specifically in the region of Gotland. The coin was made of silver, which was a valuable and widely accepted metal at the time, and it weighed 1.45 grams. Despite being a standard circulation coin, it is now considered a rare and valuable collector's item, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
