History & Notable Facts
The 1921 50 öre coin introduced a streamlined design for Swedish currency, ditching ornate flourishes for a simple profile of King Gustav V.
That silver composition, at 40% purity, reflected post-war economies tightening their belts. The coin was struck at the Stockholm mint, using techniques that echoed earlier reales but with local tweaks. No one knows the exact mintage figures; records from that era are spotty at best.
If you hear tales of hidden hoards from this year, I've seen my share of exaggerations over thirty years. Those are just stories.
