Interesting fact
The Pattern 2 Skilling - Oscar I (Pattern strike) 1845 from Sweden made of Copper weighing 15.2 g is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1845 as a pattern coin, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a sample or prototype for a new coin design. This makes it particularly sought after by collectors. Additionally, the coin features an error in the die, where the number "2" in the date is misprinted as a "1", making it even more unique and valuable.
