Ore

Öre is the discontinued centesimal subdivision of the Swedish krona. The plural and singular are the same in the indefinite forms, whereas the singular definite form is öret and the plural definite is örena. The name derives from the Latin aureus, the name of a coin worth 25 denarii. The corresponding subdivisions of the Norwegian and Danish krones are called øre.
