| Beschrijving voorzijde | Full-length frontal figure of Saint Erik, patron saint of Sweden, depicted standing in regal attire with a crown upon his head. The saint holds a sceptre or staff in his right hand and an orb or attribute in his left, rendered in a stylised late-medieval Gothic manner typical of early Swedish hammered coinage. The figure is set within a beaded inner circle, with the Latin circumscription running along the outer margin of the flan. The die work is characteristic of the Västerås mint under Gustav Vasa, with bold but somewhat crude engraving reflecting the workshop style of the period. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav Vasa introduced the öre denomination in the late 1520s partly to fund the ongoing consolidation of his reign following the 1523 break from the Kalmar Union, and partly to address a chronic shortage of small transactional coinage that had plagued Swedish commerce for decades. The Västerås mint was one of several provincial operations activated during this period precisely because Stockholm alone could not meet demand. Type III distinguishes itself from earlier variants through specific die characteristics catalogued under MB#29,2 — collectors working this series must treat the type designations seriously, as superficially similar pieces from Västerås can belong to entirely different emission sequences.
