⅙ Skilling - Carl XIV Johan Type 1

Carl XIV Johan — born Jean-Baptiste Bernadotte, a French Revolutionary Wars general — was elected Swedish crown prince in 1810, a dynastic oddity that put a Napoleonic marshal on the Scandinavian throne. By 1832 he had ruled for over a decade, and Sweden's copper coinage was grinding through a prolonged rationalization of its pre-decimal skilling system. The Type 1 designation reflects an early die configuration later revised, though the practical distinction mattered little to the peasant economy absorbing these coins at face value.
