Interesting fact
The Sturemark coin featuring Sten Sture the Younger was issued during a time of great turmoil in Sweden, known as the "Sten Sture's Rebellion" (1512-1520). This period saw a struggle for power between the Swedish nobility and the peasants, with Sten Sture leading the rebellion against the Danish king, Christian II. Despite the turmoil, the coin remained in circulation and was used as a symbol of Swedish independence and national pride.
