Interesting fact
The 1⁄12 Skilling coin from Sweden, featuring Gustav IV Adolf, was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced as part of a new currency system aimed at addressing inflation and stabilizing the economy. Despite these efforts, the coin's value depreciated significantly over time, and it was eventually taken out of circulation. Today, it remains a valuable collector's item for numismatists interested in Swedish history and coinage.
