Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kronor - Oscar II 1877-1899 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time when Sweden was still using the gold standard, and the coin's value was pegged to the value of gold. This means that the coin's value was not determined by the government or central bank, but rather by the market value of gold. This was a common practice in many countries during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, but it is no longer used today.
