Hi - I need to value this coin and I have done a google image search, I have searched for Langerstroms silver, and I have searched Swedish coins to no avail. Help please?
*** Moved by Staff to a more appropriate forum. ***
My understanding is that 'Lagerstroems Silver' is/was the company who issued that medal commemorating the Swedish king and his wife. 9,000 of those made in silver and 1,000 made in gold. It is clearly no coin but a privately issued medal.
Here is a translation of the paper that might help. Didn't know if you already had it.
Memory Slot In memory of the day of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia Forta child's birth in 1977. The memory allowance HAS been characterized and published by the stock Troms Silver . The circulation of 10,000 money of which 1,000 items have been characterized in 18k gold and 9,000 copies for controlled silver. Size 31 mm in diameter. Weight 25 grams of gold and 16 ounces of silver. Skulptor s Giovanni Marino , Jonkoping .
As medieval already wrote, it's from a private jeweller and they usually never go for more than the silver content here in Sweden. But without a book over private medals there is no way to be 100% sure with this one =)
