25 öre, Stockholm, Karl XV, 1862

With the introduction of the riksdaler riksmynt in 1855, where 1 riksdaler riksmynt was divided into 100 öre, 50-, 25- and 10-öre coins were also minted in silver. This 25-öre coin was struck a little later, in 1862, for King Karl XV. Like the first 25-öre coins, it features a portrait of the king by engraver Lea Ahlborn. On the reverse (back), we see the denomination and year within a laurel wreath. After the introduction of the Swedish krona in 1873, 25-öre coins continued to be minted and remained legal tender until 1985.
