Interesting fact
The Pattern 10 Öre - Oscar I (Pattern strike, Type II) ND (1853-1854) from Sweden is interesting because it was minted during a time of transition for the Swedish monetary system. In the mid-19th century, Sweden was in the process of switching from a system based on the Swedish daler to a system based on the Swedish krona. This coin, which was minted during that transition period, features a unique design and is made of a distinctive blend of copper, pewter, and zinc. Its weight of 17 grams also sets it apart from other coins of its time.
