| Additional information |
Sweden's 200 kronor commemorative program has produced dozens of issues since the 1970s, but this one marks the 25th anniversary of Carl XVI Gustaf's marriage to Silvia Sommerlath in 1976 — a wedding watched by an estimated 500 million television viewers worldwide, one of the largest broadcast audiences for any event of that year. The Riksbank issued this in a limited proof and uncirculated format, with the coins never intended for general circulation.
