| Additional information |
Carl XV inherited a kingdom still adjusting to the 1814 constitution that had ended Danish rule and created the Swedish-Norwegian union, and his specie coinage for Norway was struck separately from his Swedish issues — a deliberate concession to Norwegian political identity that had been a persistent source of friction since the union's founding. The speciedaler itself was already a doomed denomination by this point; Norway would abandon it entirely in 1875 when the Scandinavian Monetary Union brought the krone system into force.
The Ahlström 1B designation distinguishes this from the 1A obverse die, a detail that matters to specialists assembling date runs of this short two-year issue.
