maridvnvm Posted June 16, 2022 · Member Share Posted June 16, 2022 I will be blunt. I am an ancients fanatic and I don't focus on world coins but I have accumulated many British and World coins over the years including a biscuit tin full of world coins bought many years ago. I bought the tin to try and get my son into coins, which failed. My son and I are now jointly working through it to see if there is anything interesting in there. I think he is seeing Dollar signs..... In amongst the mix are the following two coins from Sweden. Carl XIII. 1/12 Skilling Obv:- FOLKETS VAL MIN HÖGSTA LAG, Monogram of Carl XIII Rev:- Three crowns, 1-12 SKILLING Reference:- KM#584 Mintage:- 2,880,000 Carl XIIII. 1/4 Skilling Obv:- FOLKETS KARLEK MIN BELONGING, Monogram of Carl XIV Rev:- Crossed arrows, 1-4 SKILLING Reference:- KM#595 Mintage:- 2,450,000 Share you Swedish coins.... 14 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qcumbor Posted June 17, 2022 · Supporter Share Posted June 17, 2022 (edited) Since I've visited Stockholm and the Vasa museum (The Vasa was a ship that sunk in the harbor just after leaving the wharf) I'm in chase for a 1628 Öre, same as those found in the wreck. Finding one with a clear date at the right price is a real challenge The Wikipedia page here By OneHungLow - Own work, CC BY-SA 3.0, https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?curid=5971630 Image courtesy of NGC Q Edited June 17, 2022 by Qcumbor 11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marsyas Mike Posted July 4, 2022 · Member Share Posted July 4, 2022 Nice coins.

Benefactor rNumis Posted July 4, 2022 · Benefactor Benefactor Share Posted July 4, 2022 The only Swedish coin I ever owned - long since sold (2013/Kuenker). The condition wasn't great, but these are quite rare. The photos are from the auction house that I bought it from (Holmasto).
