Chilian New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 04/29/2017 12:21 pm Hi, I found another mark which I cannot identify. Maybe Swedish or Sweden connoisseurs can help me. It's concerning the mark on the 1 Krona coin, KM# 814, just underneath the head of King Gustav V. It is probably a designer mark, but I cannot find the designer of this coin on the web or in my catalogs (although my collection of Swedish catalogs is quite limited). Any help is appreciated. Kind regards, Chilian Report this Post to the Staff

THe coin also has two other marks: the Riksbank's director initials and what looks to be a small image of Saint Eric (Sankt Erik). I can definitely be wrong and I'm not sure exactly what the mark tries to notify, but on later coins, only two marks remain, one of which is the director's initials, another is location of issue, which has been up until 2006 the mint in Eskilstuna, and therefore is a stylized 'E'. After the Swedish mint's complete closure, that mark was changed to 'S', for Stockholm, where the Riksbank has its main office and where the coins are now issued. I wonder if not though the Saint Eric mark might be just this, considering Saint Eric has long been a symbol for Stockholm and a mint was here until it closed in 1974. And that makes that mark you're wondering about a mystery. Report this Post to the Staff
Chilian New Member Netherlands 41 Posts	Posted 04/30/2017 09:59 am Thanks for the input X2an. I partly agree with your findings, like I state on my website: http://markyourcoin.weebly.com/sweden-sverige.html Since St. Eric is the mint mark (Stockholm) and the "TS" monogram refers to Torsten Swensson, the mint master. The mark for Eskilstuna looks a bit different, as you can see: This would leave the mark as a designer mark for the coin or the portrait of the king. His or her name is what eludes me.
