Interesting fact
The 2 Skilling Banco coin from Sweden, featuring a small head of King Oscar I, was minted during a time of great change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1845, just a few years after Sweden had transitioned from a monarchy to a constitutional monarchy. This meant that the king's powers were significantly reduced, and the country was governed by a parliamentary system. Despite this change, the coin still features the image of the king, highlighting the importance of the monarchy in Swedish history and culture.
