Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 08:19 am Sweden has been using Rikstaler until well the 1870's. It used to be divided into Skilling (non-decimal I suppose). So probably this 1/2 öre has nothing to do with the later (and present) decimal öre = 1/100 Krona? Can someone shed some light on this? These 18th century currencies can be quite confusing.

Litotes Pillar of the Community Norway 510 Posts	Posted 06/11/2013 11:09 am Gwyde, öre is an old Swedish denomination. I've seen a 15 öre 1543. Also a 2 mark/16 öre 1543, which places the öres value to the mark. As for daler, 3½ mark was equal to 1 daler at the time. So it was 28 öre on the daler then. This changed throughout history. Under Karl IX (1604-11) Sweden had to types of Daler. A daler was worth 4 mark, a rigsdaler was worth 6 mark. 1 mark was still 8 öre, so 1 daler = 48 öre In 1664, 1 rigsdaler dropped to 52 öre. In 1681, to 64 öre. Then later 96 öre. In the mid-1800s, one daler was worth four rigsdaler. And one öre was 1/100 of one rigsdaler. Then at the reform in 1873, rigsdaler was exchanged with krona.

Gwyde Pillar of the Community Belgium 506 Posts	Posted 06/12/2013 6:23 pm Thanks, it's increasingly clear that decimal currencies were the exception rather than the rule the 19th century. Edited by Gwyde 06/12/2013 6:26 pm Report this Post to the Staff
