Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Öre - Karl IX (Type I) 1605 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during the reign of King Charles IX, who was instrumental in introducing a new coinage system in Sweden. This system, known as the "Carolean" system, was based on the use of silver and was used until the 18th century. The 2 Öre coin was a key denomination in this system and was widely used in trade and commerce during that time.
