Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 5 Öre coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Charles XI and Charles XII (1690-1715), is that it was made of a unique alloy called "Billon," which consists of 44.4% silver and 55.6% copper. This composition was chosen to reduce the cost of production while still maintaining the coin's durability and resistance to wear and tear. Despite being made of a lower-value metal, the coin still holds significant historical and numismatic value, making it a prized collector's item among coin enthusiasts.
