This specimen was lot 30286 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $4,406.25. The catalog description[1] noted, "Oscar II Krona 1887-EB, Proof 65 NGC. A stunning example of this rare low-mintage date (57,998 struck) with meticulously sharp details and full mint brilliance. The surfaces are highly reflective and display an appealing blend of tan and silvery-gray patina. The Stockholm Mint did not record special strikings in Proof, but mirror surface coins from this era do occur from time to time and are sold as spegelglans or mirror luster. Almost certainly the finest known specimen and an incredible trophy for the collector of Oscar II. Ex: "Colonel" E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman / B.G. Johnson." Collecting Swedish coins is complicated by the multiple currency reforms the country underwent during the period. 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). The type is noted for 1877-89. This date is common in worn condition but scarce nice. The system adopted in 1873 is still in use today, the Swedes having recently declined to adopt the euro.
Recorded mintage: 57,998 (a better date but not the key).
Specification: 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, 25 mm diameter.
Catalog reference: KM 747, SM-70.
