Additional information

Oscar II's early bronze öre coinage came in two distinct typographic variants — large and small reverse lettering — struck concurrently at Stockholm during the same production years. The small-letters type is the scarcer of the two, and the distinction matters significantly for collectors working the series. KM#735 captures only part of the story; individual date-and-variety combinations within this window show markedly uneven mintage figures, with 1875 generally considered the most difficult date to locate in collectible condition.
