Interesting fact
The 50 Öre coin from Sweden, minted in 1857 during the reign of King Oscar I, has an interesting feature. Despite being made of silver (.750), it was designed with a unique wreath-like pattern on the reverse side, which was meant to symbolize the unity of the Swedish people. This design was created by the artist Erik Gustaf Göthe and was used on several other coins during this period. This coin is a rare and valuable collector's item, highly sought after by numismatists.
