History & Notable Facts
The 1947 Swedish 1 Krona was one of the few post-war European coins still made from .400 fine silver, a practical choice given the metal's lingering availability in neutral Sweden.
That silver content meant it wore down quickly in circulation, a reminder that not every coin is built for eternity. The obverse featured King Gustaf V's portrait, unchanged from earlier years, while the reverse showed the three crowns emblem, a symbol dating back to the 14th century.
Mintage figures? They were probably in the millions, but exact numbers vanished in some archive mishap years ago—let's not pretend otherwise. As for myths about hidden treasures, I've heard them all and they're as thin as a worn-down edge.
Some collectors swear this coin turned up in old sock drawers, but that's just the numismatist's version of urban legend.
