| Reverse description | The central field displays a bold, three-dimensional design depicting the Three Crowns of Sweden — the traditional Swedish royal heraldic symbol — merging into a staff of musical notation with notes, rendered in a stylized perspective suggesting movement and harmony. The country name SVERIGE arcs along the upper border, while the denomination 100 KR appears in large characters at the lower left. A small mint master mark is visible to the left of the denomination. |

| Additional information |
European Music Year was a Council of Europe initiative marking the tercentenary of Bach, Handel, and Scarlatti — all three born in 1685. Sweden's participation produced this commemorative, with the Riksbank issuing it during a period when silver commemoratives were increasingly seen as revenue instruments rather than genuine circulation pieces. Most were sold directly to collectors at a premium over face value and never spent.
