Interesting fact

One interesting fact about this coin is that it was issued during the reign of Olof Skötkonung, who was the first Christian king of Sweden and ruled from 995 to 1022. The coin features an image of the king on one side and a cross on the other, reflecting the country's conversion to Christianity during his reign.
