History & Notable Facts
This 10 Kronor coin from 1901 contains 4.8 grams of pure gold, a modest amount that reflects Sweden's cautious approach to commemorative minting during Oscar II's reign.
It was struck at the Swedish Royal Mint in Stockholm, likely using gold from domestic reserves, though exact sources remain murky due to incomplete records from that era. The obverse shows Oscar II's profile, stern and unyielding, while the reverse features the Swedish coat of arms—three crowns that never quite lived up to their symbolic weight in gold.
Mintage figures for this issue are uncertain; archives suggest around 100,000 pieces, but fires in the 1830s may have destroyed precise tallies. What we know for sure is that it circulated briefly before gold standards faded in Europe.
Demand from collectors ebbs and flows, but that's their affair.
