1961 Swedish 25 öre

I picked this up for a song. It is 40% silver. This is the only one like this I've ever seen.

Huh, for a song? Sweden had 25 öre coins until the mid-1980s (today 1 krona is the smallest denomination). The sign on the right is "TS", the initials of the mintmaster Torsten Swensson (1961 was his last year in office, I think). The sign on the left refers to Stockholm; it is a somewhat abstract version of the city's coat of arms.

I like it because it is my birth year. yippy lol. and that it is silver. lol

 

"For a song" is an expression that means "for very little."
I have a few of these, somewhere.

 

Can you tell English is not my primary language? Thanks for the explanation!

I have a set of Swedish 25-ore coins. I like the design.

 

And some coins yet.

 

Interesting that the 25 öre 1946 does not have the country name. Guess they thought that the king's monogram would do. The design I like, especially the style of the (wheat?) ears around the face value ...
