Interesting fact

The Pattern 4 Skilling Banco - Oscar I (Pattern strike) 1844 from Sweden made of Copper weighing 25g is a rare and valuable coin. One interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted in 1844 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 fact that it's made of copper and weighs 25g makes it stand out from other coins of its time, which were typically made of silver or gold.
