Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Krona - Oscar II ("OCH" in title) 1877-1889 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 value of the krona was pegged to the value of gold. However, the production of silver coins like the 1 Krona - Oscar II continued until 1889, when the silver standard was officially abolished. This coin is a unique piece of history that reflects the transition from silver to gold standard in Sweden during the late 19th century.
