1. A Viking Age silver treasure: The treasure comes from Övide in Gotland. It weighs almost 2 kilos and contains 712 coins from various areas, mostly from Germany and England but also from other parts of Europe. The coins show what different coin motifs looked like on the continent.
2. The first Swedish coins: In the year 995, Olof Skötkonung had Sweden's first coins minted in Sigtuna. He enlisted the help of knowledge from England in the form of imported coin masters.
3. The world's largest coin: Because copper was worth less than silver, coins became larger to correspond to the same value. In 1624, Sweden began minting these copper coins, first in lower denominations and later in higher denominations. In 1644, higher denominations were introduced, which came to be called "plåtmynt". Try lifting a copy!
4. The first banknotes in Europe: See one of the first banknotes in Europe, which is from Sweden, from the year 1662 with a value of 5 daler copper coins. The banknotes were issued by Stockholm's Banco, Sweden's first bank, founded by Johan Palmstruch in 1656.
5. A Nobel Medal: The Nobel Medal on display was awarded to Swedish chemist and physicist Svante Arrhenius in 1903. He became the first Swedish Nobel laureate when he received the Nobel Prize in Chemistry.
6. The Bitcoin ATM: Have you ever seen a Bitcoin ATM? If not, it might be because they didn't catch on in Sweden. The machine allowed you to insert cash, which was converted into Bitcoin. Now, it's behind glass at the museum.
