Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 20 Kronor - Oscar II 1900-1902 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 20 Kronor coin was introduced as a new denomination to replace the old 10 Kronor silver coin. This coin was minted from 1900 to 1902, during the reign of King Oscar II, and it was made of .900 gold, which means it contained 90% gold and 10% other metals. Despite being minted over a century ago, some of these coins are still in circulation today, making them a valuable and interesting collector's item for numismatists.
