Interesting fact
The Olof Skötkonung ND (995-1022) coin from Sweden was made of silver, but it was also one of the first coins to feature a Christian cross on its design. This indicates that the coin was issued during a time of significant religious change in Sweden, as the country was transitioning from a pagan society to a Christian one.
