Welcome to Treasure Trades—your source for historic and commemorative coins and medals.

Offered here is a two-coin silver set of Sweden’s 1 Krona under King Gustaf VI Adolf: 1960 (mintage 4,085,250) and 1961 (mintage 4,283,000), both struck at Stockholm. Each coin is KM# 826, 0.400 silver, 7 g, 25 mm, reeded edge, medal alignment (0°), and features the classic royal portrait. With an actual silver weight of ~0.090 ozt per coin (2.8 g fine silver), this pair blends intrinsic silver value with Scandinavian history—a compelling pick for collectors of old world coins. Sold as collectible items; not intended for current circulation. (Seller note: marked “TS” as provided.)

Act now—secure this low-mintage Swedish silver duo before it’s gone. Once sold, they’re history!

 Why this is a smart buy

  • Silver content + collectability: Each coin contains 2.8 g fine silver (0.090 ozt), adding intrinsic value alongside numismatic interest.

  • Low mintages for circulation pieces: 1960: 4,085,250 and 1961: 4,283,000—desirable production figures for mid-20th-century silver krona.

  • Historic appeal: Reign of Gustaf VI Adolf (1950–1973); sought by Scandinavian and royal portrait collectors.

  • Type completeness: Both dates are part of the KM#826 silver type (1952–1968), helping buyers build a representative type/date run.

  • Potential appreciation: As silver coinage from this era is continually absorbed by collections and bullion melt, well-kept examples grow scarcer.

  • Display & gifting: Classic design, standard 25 mm size—great for display boards or heritage-themed gifts.

  • Market note: Melt value fluctuates with spot silver; the collectible premium often exceeds melt for attractive pieces and matched date sets.
