Interesting fact
The coin features an image of King Oscar II on the obverse side, while the reverse side features the coat of arms of Sweden. The coin was minted during a time when Sweden was still using the silver standard, which means that the coin's value was based on the amount of silver it contained. The coin's silver content is .800, which means it is made of 80% silver and 20% other metals. This makes it a valuable collector's item for numismatists who are interested in coins made of precious metals.
