20 kronor, Stockholm, Oscar II, 1900

On the 20 krona coin we see the portrait of king Oscar II and the large Swedish coat of arms. Below the king's portrait are the initials of the coin and medal artist Lea Ahlborn, L A. Lea was employed at the Royal Mint from 1855 to 1897 and is usually considered to be Sweden's first female government employee. The last 20-krona gold coin was issued in 1925 when Oscar II's son Gustav V was king.
