Sweden hosted the 1989 IIHF World Championship in Stockholm, and the Riksbank issued this coin to mark the occasion — a tournament the Swedish national side had long approached as a point of particular national pride, given the country's deep structural investment in ice hockey at both club and international level. The Soviets had dominated the championship through most of the preceding two decades, and Swedish victories carried weight beyond mere sporting result.
KM#869 was struck at the Royal Mint in Eskilstuna during its final years of operation before the Riksbank transferred minting operations to Finland in 1995.
