hadn't noticed the difference between the open 9's before.. Are they listed on Numista that way too?


No. Numista only mentions open and closed 9.

No mention of thick and thin 5s either.

Looks like I have missed seeing a few entries here. Nice additions guys.

MMM, I see the C & G spelling error and also some differences in font size.

Yes the bottom two were minted at The Royal Mint (left PROVINCIAS, right PROVINGIAS)

Top left minted in South Korea, top right minted in Paris.

Each mint has a different mark (above the date) and uses a different font.

The sun faces are different too. The one on the Paris coin is quite comical...

Nice examples Machin


The 1940 2 kronor was minted with a ovale 0 and a round 0 in 1940, as a bonus I also add the known error with overstrike 4.

Nice example Moniker.
There seems to be a lot of examples from Sweden with slightly different numbers,
long and short 6 or 9, open and closed 4 or plain or serif 4 for example.

thank you EV JB Triggers and Dearborn

Yes triggers there are a few, the 1939 2krona has different Gs for example
i saw you öre and 10 öre that showcases that.
The fontmaker must have had a disturbance in the force...
