Historical Significance

This coin belongs to the fourth coinage series of King Gustaf VI Adolf. The 10 öre denomination was a staple of Swedish fractional currency for over a century; however, due to inflation and rising production costs, it was demonetized in September 1991.

$0.10 - $2.00 USD (Depending on condition and specific year)

Care Instructions

Store in a dry, cool place away from direct sunlight. Handle by the edges to avoid transferring skin oils to the surface. Do not clean with abrasive chemicals, as this can destroy the strike detail and lower its numismatic value.
