1 Öre - Gustav Vasa Type VI

Gustav Vasa's break with Rome in 1527 triggered immediate fiscal consequences — the Crown seized church properties but also inherited the church's debts and the costs of consolidating a kingdom that had only formally existed since 1523. The Type VI öre belongs to this turbulent consolidation period, struck from billon debased well below the silver content Sweden's earlier coinage had maintained under the Kalmar Union.

The MB#28 designation places this firmly within Malmer's typological sequence, which identified at least six distinct öre types from Vasa's early reign — evidence of repeated monetary adjustments within a single decade.
