Comment
Diameter varies from 23 mm - 24 mm.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Öre - Gustav Vasa (Type III) 1559-1560 coin from Sweden is that it features a unique design element - a small hole in the center of the coin. This hole was added to the coin's design to prevent people from threading the coins onto a string or chain, which was a common practice at the time. This feature makes the coin stand out from other coins of its time and adds to its unique character.
