Comment
Weight can vary.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 4 Öre - Johan III (Legend type I) coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country. Johan III, who ruled Sweden from 1568 to 1592, was instrumental in introducing Protestantism as the official religion of Sweden, which had a significant impact on the country's culture and society. Additionally, during his reign, Sweden began to assert its independence from Denmark and Norway, which had previously held great influence over the country. This coin, minted during this time of transition, serves as a small but tangible reminder of the significant changes that were taking place in Sweden during the late 16th century.
