Interesting fact
The Denier anonymous ND (1020-1050) coin from Sweden was made of silver, which was a common material for coins during that time period. However, what makes this coin stand out is that it was issued during a time of great change in Sweden. The coin was minted during the reign of King Anund Jacob, who ruled Sweden from 1022 to 1050. During his reign, Sweden was in the process of converting from a pagan society to a Christian one, and this coin may have been used as a symbol of the country's newfound religious beliefs.
