Coins in iron minted to replace those in bronze, due to metal shortages during and after World War I.Interesting fact
The 2 Öre coin from Sweden, featuring Gustaf V, was made of iron during a time when most coins were made of gold or silver. This decision to use iron was a result of the metal's durability and resistance to wear and tear, making it an ideal choice for circulation coins that would be used frequently by the public.
