| Reverse description | The reverse presents a faithful full-colour reproduction of the celebrated 1855 Swedish Treskilling Banco stamp, erroneously printed in yellow rather than the intended blue-green, making it one of the world's rarest and most valuable philatelic errors. The stamp design occupies the central field, framed within a postage-stamp perforated border integrated into the coin's design. The numeral 3 appears in the upper left and upper right corners of the stamp vignette, flanking the crown and post horn emblem of Sweden. The legend SVERIGE and FRIMÄRKE are inscribed within the stamp reproduction, with the denomination TRE SKILL. BCO. identifying the face value of the original stamp. The explanatory inscription Swedish Treskilling Yellow 1855 appears below the stamp design, identifying the philatelic rarity commemorated by this issue. |
