Interesting fact
The 5 Kronor coin from Sweden, minted in 1901 during the reign of King Oscar II, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of gold (.900), it was designed to be used as a standard circulation coin, which is unusual for a gold coin. Most gold coins are typically minted as collector's items or for special occasions, but this coin was meant to be used in everyday transactions. This fact highlights the value and trust that the Swedish people had in their currency during that time.
