This specimen was lot 46110 in Stack's Bowers ANA sale (Costa Mesa, CA, August 2021), where it sold for $132. The catalog description^[1] noted, "SWEDEN. 200 Kronor, 2001-B. NGC PROOF-69 Ultra Cameo. Nobel Prize Centennial issue. A handsome Proof with hard mirrored fields and frosted cameo devices." In 1873, the riksdaler species was dropped and 100 öre = one krona (the krona, at 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, was slightly smaller than the old riksdaler riksmynt). The system adopted in 1873 is still in use today, the Swedes having recently declined to adopt the euro. This issue seems to be listed twice in the SCWC, as KM-900 and KM-919. This design was also used on a gold 2000 kroner (KM 901).

Recorded mintage: 29,856.

Specification: 27 g, 0.925 fine silver, 36 mm diameter.

Catalog reference: KM-919.
