Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 25 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Carl XV (1862-1871), is that it was the first coin in Sweden to feature a portrait of the king on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Sweden. This design change marked a significant shift in the design of Swedish coins, as previous coins had featured a more minimalist design with only the denomination and a crown on the obverse side. The introduction of the king's portrait on the coin was seen as a way to emphasize the monarch's authority and connection to the people.
