Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 8 Daler Silvermynt - Karl X Gustav 1656-1659 coin from Sweden is that it was made of copper, which was a unusual choice for a coin of its denomination at the time. Most coins of similar value were made of silver or gold, but the use of copper was likely a deliberate choice by the mint to create a more affordable option for circulation. Despite being made of a less valuable material, the coin still features a beautiful design and is highly sought after by collectors today.
