Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Krona - Oscar II 1890-1904 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change in the country's monetary system. In 1873, Sweden transitioned from a silver standard to a gold standard, and the production of silver coins like the 1 Krona was phased out in favor of gold coins. However, the 1 Krona coin continued to be minted until 1904, making it a unique piece of history that bridges the gap between Sweden's silver and gold standard eras.
