| Additional information |
Lilla Edet was among the Swedish municipalities that issued local emergency coinage in the late 1970s and early 1980s in response to a nationwide coin shortage, particularly in lower denominations used for parking meters, laundry machines, and public telephones. These municipal tokens were produced privately and authorized for limited circulation within their issuing communities — a quiet administrative workaround rather than any formal monetary policy decision from the Riksbank.
Surviving examples are common in uncirculated condition, reflecting their short practical lifespan before the national shortage eased.
