My favorite Swedish coins.

The small denominaton coins are very plain and at first I didn't like it but after looking at all of them it was simple and tasteful!

It was also surprising to me because the Shooting Talers are so intricate in their designs...

I got it today.
5 ore 1858, bronze, mintage - 1193000. Oscar I.

 

interesting coins. I like that settlement of Delaware one.

 

Hi there.

You know your swedish coins and i can see you also have the coin i need some info about.
Hope you can help.

Today i found a 2 ore 1872
The back side of this coin is up side down, when compared to the front. Now, is this normal for these coins or is this an error on my coin ?

Thanks for any answer

 

Most countries make coins this way. You turn such a coin just as you turn a book page. Even in the US it is only the coins that have a different orientation - the notes are turned, errm, normally.

By the way, the 1 krona coin (worth about 11 cent in €, or 15 cents in $) is now the lowest denomination in Sweden. There are no more "öre" coins in circulation. Also, some of the modern pieces are pretty abstract. Here is a circulating commem issued in 2009, dedicated to the peaceful separation of Sweden and Finland ...

dearfriend,
your collections are chronological,with a bid of history& they are beautices to watch. Thanks for sharing to view.

 

Well i found another one today, and it is the same way,
So i guess its normal And thanks for your answer.

But i was just wondering, since i got other swedish coins, and when i flip these like a book, they are the same direction ?
The coin i am asking about, you have to flip vertically to have the same direction ?.

 

Awesome collection!
Thanks for sharing!

 

Hmm. Swedish coins usually have this parallel (flip-like-a-book*) orientation. There are very few exceptions, such as the 10 kronor 1991 piece which comes in both varieties. See here: http://www.cointalk.com/t83902/

* In the US you have the term "coin alignment/orientation" for a coin that you flip like you flip an, umm, American coin. The other orientation is called "medal alignment" in American English.

This is strange ?
This coin, that you also have, 2 ore 1872. is aligned (↑↓)

Every other coin i have from sweden, norway and denmark is alligend (↑↑).

Im from Denmark myself, and have never seen this alignment before.
Could you check your coin... with your eyes... to see what the allignment is exactly on the coin you have in your possesion.

Thanks for answering and sorry for the poor english.

Your English is OK, but I still cannot do what you asked me to do. The member who posted the image of that coin (I guess you mean the type in post #3 here) is SiberianMan, not me. Hope he sees your question ...

Greetings from Germany,
Christian

 

Aha, stupid me

 

I will be enjoying your update today Siberian Man , awaiting every post in anticipation. Quick question: Are you normally scanning your images as you post them in the tread, or are they all pre-scanned ?

I got it a couple hours ago.
2 kronor 1907, silver .800, weight - 15 g., mintage - 251000. Oscar II. "Golden wedding Anniversary." UNC.

 

I scanned it on a usual scanner (HP Scanjet G2710).

 

A normal 2-ore coin (for 1872): obverse & reverse "looks" in the different sides.

 

That certainly is a beautiful 1907 2Kr. Quite a nice collection of world coins you have Siberian Man, very impressive.
I always liked the different obverses of the smaller denomination Swedish coins. The last one, the 1958 - TS 10 ore I just bought the other day, for .20cents at my local coin shop, very nice condition, and I always liked the design.

top - 1939 10 ore
middle - 1950 10 ore
bottom - 1958 10 ore

 

I have a few older ones but this one MS-66 or better!

 

Well its not swedish. Mabye French ?
