<p>[QUOTE=&quot;chrisild, post: 1043184, member: 39&quot;]Interesting topic, Clinker! And yes, Norway becoming an independent country was actually a peaceful separation ... Here are images of the Swedish coin (this is the 200 kronor silver piece) design:</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: <a href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/baksida_silver_low.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/baksida_silver_low.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/baksida_silver_low.jpg</a></p><p>Obverse: <a href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/framsida_silver_low.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/framsida_silver_low.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt1/framsida_silver_low.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>The &quot;split disk&quot; represents the two halves of the former union; the text next to the flagpole means &quot;Two Nations in Agreement&quot;. That piece was designed by Annie Winblad Jakubowski; and she was also the designer of another &quot;dissolution&quot; commem: Four years later (in 2009), Sweden issued a 1 krona circulating commem that remembers the - not quite so peaceful - end of the Swedish-Finnish Union in 1809.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reverse: <a href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_bak_low.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_bak_low.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_bak_low.jpg</a></p><p>Obverse: <a href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_fram_low.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_fram_low.jpg" rel="nofollow">http://www.riksbank.com/upload/Bilder_riksbank/Kat_sedlar_mynt/1krona_2009/Enkronan_2009_fram_low.jpg</a></p><p><br /></p><p>A little off-topic, I know. But with a mintage of at least 40 million that is a piece which people may actually come across without buying it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Christian[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
