| Reverse description | The reverse depicts a tall flagpole at center, flying the Norwegian flag (with its distinctive Nordic cross) from the top, with the flag rendered in relief against a clear sky. Two stylized cloud formations flank the pole in the left and right fields, adding depth and a naturalistic atmosphere to the composition. To the lower left of the flagpole, the Swedish inscription TVÅ NATIONER I SAMFÖRSTÅND (Two Nations in Agreement) is arranged in three lines. The denomination 200 KR appears in the lower right field. The engraver's initials AWJ are incorporated discreetly into the design. |

| Additional information |
Sweden and Norway dissolved their union on June 7, 1905, following a Norwegian Storting vote that was effectively unanimous — 117 to zero — to declare the union with Sweden at an end. The Swedish Riksdag accepted the dissolution in October of that year, making the separation unusually bloodless for a European territorial renegotiation of that scale. This coin marks the centenary of that moment.
KM#906 was struck in a limited commemorative issue by the Riksbank; mintage was capped and the coin saw no general circulation.
