| Additional information |
Sweden's 2 öre bronze ran continuously through two world wars, and the alloy composition tells the real story of those decades. During both conflicts, copper supplies tightened enough to push Swedish mint authorities into periodic reviews of the coinage program, though Sweden's neutrality spared the series from the outright wartime substitutions — iron, zinc, ersatz alloys — that gutted the coinages of combatant nations. The series survived intact in bronze throughout.
Gustaf V reigned 43 years, the longest of any Swedish monarch to that point, dying in 1950 — the final year of this type's production.
