Gold and silver coins of Sweden

Gold and silver coins of Sweden are represented by several types of coins: mark, Øre, riksdaler and kronor. All of them reflect the era of the Swedish kings and were in circulation, with the exception of modern coins. Today, only gold krones are issued, which are investment coins and are of interest to coin collectors.

What Mint produces the coins?

During the reign of Sigismund III (1568–1592), silver Øre were minted at the Mint in Stockholm. Queen Christina, who reigned in the 17th century, minted an era of silver at the Mint in Reval, and copper and bronze in Sutera and Nicheping. Her successors – the kings Charles XI and Charles XII – minted silver Øre and marks at the Mint in Stockholm. Today, precious metal coins and medals are minted at Myntverket (officially AB Myntverket), which is a privately owned Swedish company. Since 2008, Swedish coins have now minted Mint of Finland Ltd. in Helsinki, Finland.
