Discover the royal era. Explore the digital chapter. The copper coins of Charles XII reveal how craft, a crown, and public trust came together at a turning point in Swedish history.
Kronan was struck in copper at the Stockholm mint, with its design engraved by Arvid Karlsteen. It bears the date 1715 but entered circulation in 1716. One face carries a royal crown; the other reads 1 DALER S.M. A small coin, assigned the value of one daler silvermynt.
Explore the museum recordYears of war had drained the royal treasury. Charles XII’s government introduced emergency copper coins to help finance the continuing conflict. Their stated value exceeded the worth of their metal. What made them money was the state’s promise behind them.
Read the Riksbank storyPeople exchanged existing silver and copper money for the new coins, effectively lending to the state. Repayment was promised when Sweden’s finances improved. Further issues brought inflation and falling confidence; withdrawal began in 1719. The story makes the link between money and trust tangible.
