Comments

This coin is the last design out of four types (as defined by Krause) of 2 kronor coins minted under the reign of Oscar II. The most striking modifications include a seventh, quite robust portrait of the king and a different motto. Norway, in a personal union with Sweden since 1814, regained its sovereignity in October 1905, hence the removal of "och Norges" in the lettering.
