Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 2 Kronor - Oscar II coin is that it was minted during a time of great change in Sweden. The coin was minted from 1878 to 1880, a period when Sweden was transitioning from an agricultural society to an industrial society. This change is reflected in the coin's design, which features an image of King Oscar II on one side and a depiction of the Swedish coat of arms on the other. The coin's silver content and weight also reflect the country's shift towards industrialization, as silver was a valuable resource that was increasingly used in industry during this time.
