| 裏面の説明 | The reverse commemorates the 350th anniversary of the New Sweden colony in Delaware. To the right, the tall ship Kalmar Nyckel is depicted under full sail on the open sea. To the lower left, an excerpt from a period map of Delaware highlights the location of Fort Christina, the original Swedish settlement. Above the map appears the royal monogram of Queen Christina — three crowns with the initials CRS (Christina Regina Sueciae), derived from the copper coinage of her reign. The circular rim legend states the denomination and commemorative dates, flanked by the mint letter 'E' (Eskilstuna) to the left of the value and the Riksbank Governor's initial 'D' to the right. |

Issued to mark the 350th anniversary of the short-lived New Sweden colony established on the Delaware River in 1638, this commemorative was struck the same year Sweden and the United States held joint celebrations across both countries. The colony — founded under the direction of Axel Oxenstierna and initially managed by the New Sweden Company — lasted only until 1655, when Peter Stuyvesant's Dutch forces seized Fort Christina without significant resistance.
Sweden's interest in commemorating the episode is partly diplomatic, partly nostalgic. The colony left almost no lasting institutional trace, but Fort Christina's site is now Wilmington, Delaware.
