Malmer 4.13:4.51.Interesting fact
The Olof Skötkonung ND (995-1022) coin from Sweden was made during a time when the country was transitioning from a pagan society to a Christian one. In fact, Olof Skötkonung himself was the first Christian king of Sweden, and his reign marked the beginning of Christianity in the country. This coin, which features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, is a symbol of this significant historical event.
