Got this one in an ebay lot:

1721-Sweden-1-Ore---Struck-On-?

1721-Sweden-1-Ore---Struck-On-?

Here's what the coin is supposed to look like:

(KM# 383.1, lozanged rim)

I know that overstrikes were common in this era, and apparently especially so on these copper Ore coins. Is there any way to tell what this coin was prior to 1721?

Yes, from what I have seen, it was somewhat common for them to use old 1716-18 Daler coins to strike Ores from 1719-21. This one appears to be struck over a 1718 similar to the one in this picture:

Back in those days they used to overstike any old piece of copper into a 'new' one - I've got a similar type that has hints of a triple strike.

The 'old' coin was infact an emergency-issued copper coin denominated as 'SM' - Silvermynt - Silver coin, despite being copper. The 'new' piece is denominated as 'KM' - Kopparmynt - Copper coin. At this time these were two separate currencies, but all SM coins were infact not silver (lower denominations).
