"Ore" in this case can't mean gold, this thing is made of copper . . .

Thanks for the info Cheyenne.

It is strange they would call it ore . . . but then I don't know the swedish language. In practically any language I am familiar with, something spelled close to "ore" would probably mean gold. It certainly looks to tarnished and dull for that!

Yes, "Ore", not ORO which is spanish for gold. Sweden uses "Ore" and "Kronor" as denominations of currency, as does Norway.

Ok, so amazingly, if I did the conversion right, it is worth about 7 cents, dispite being the same size as the penny!

Well, it is a somewhat thicker than the penny.
