Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Kronor - Oscar II 1876-1895 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time when Sweden was transitioning from a silver standard to a gold standard. The coin was made of .900 gold, which was a significant change from the previous silver coins that had been used in Sweden for centuries. This change in monetary policy was a result of the country's desire to align its currency with the gold standard used by many other European countries at the time. The introduction of the gold coin was a significant event in Sweden's economic history and marked a turning point in the country's monetary system.
