Oscar I ascended the Swedish throne in 1844 with genuine ambitions for decimal currency reform, and these pattern pieces from 1847–48 represent the practical testing of that agenda. Sweden would not actually complete its decimal transition until 1855, and the intervening years produced a cluster of exploratory strikes as the Riksdag and the mint worked through the political and economic mechanics of abandoning the riksdaler system.
The SM#158 attribution places this firmly among the documented Kungliga Myntet trials rather than private or speculative strikes.
