Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Öre coin was designed by artist and engraver, Erik Lindberg, and features a portrait of King Gustaf V on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the royal coat of arms of Sweden. The coin was minted in 1918 as a pattern strike, which means it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin. This particular coin is made of iron, which was a common material used for coins during this time period, and weighs 1.1 grams. It's a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history that collectors and enthusiasts may find fascinating.
