| Zusätzliche Informationen |
Oscar II's 20 Kronor was among the first coins struck under Sweden's adoption of the Scandinavian Monetary Union, the currency agreement finalized between Sweden, Denmark, and Norway in 1873 that pegged all three nations to the gold standard and created mutually exchangeable coinage. Sweden had previously operated on a silver riksdaler system; the shift required entirely new denominations, new dies, and a retooling of the Stockholm mint. The 1873 date on this type is therefore a true first-year issue, not a continuation of anything prior.
The union functioned with remarkable stability until World War I disrupted it beyond repair.
