This specimen was lot 31822 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $235. The catalog description[1] noted, "Carl XV 2 Ore 1860/57-LA, MS61 Brown NGC. Deep brown surfaces with a hint of luster in the legends. Scarce overdate variety. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman/B.G. Johnson." In the reform of 1830, the sixth and third riksdalers were dropped for eighth, quarter and half riksdalers. The skilling, formerly 1/48 riksdaler, became 1/128 riksdaler and new one-sixth, one-third, half, two-thirds, one, two and four skilling issued in copper. The smallest silver denomination, the 1/32 riksdaler, was four skilling. In 1855, the skilling was dropped and 400 öre = 4 riksdaler riksmynt = 1 riksdaler species (the riksdaler species remained unchanged). In 1873, the riksdaler species was dropped and 100 öre = 1 krona (the krona, at 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, was slightly smaller than the old riksdaler riksmynt). This type is listed for 1860-72 but this date is scarce. No premium is awarded the overdate.
Recorded mintage: 197,000.
