I like the designs on Swedish coins. Below is a 1973-U copper 5 ore.



Except for this one, a 1973-U 1 krona. The portrait looks terrible.

That is all.

 

Very impressive.

 

I noticed that some of the initials repeated on some of the coins shown, which are mintmarks and which are designers initials? Or is there some other reason for the initials? I noticed a few with a G, some with an O, some with a stylized TS, one with a W. Would Krause world coins book have such information?

 

The letters you refer to are mint officials' initials. Krause does list which letter is for which official.
