D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 10:22 pm Taking a shot in the dark here if any one may know what one hallmark is on this brooch that is housing this coin..The coin is a 1872 - 1897 tvkar Oscar 11 sveriges. The brooch is Swedish, hall mark U6 for 1898, G with a crown for Goteborg, and what looks like PAP. I believe this could be a makers mark..Can any one help with this mark as I can not find any thing close to PAP for hall marks.Thanks.. Report this Post to the Staff

Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/14/2011 11:59 pm I think you'll find that "TVA KR." means "Two Kronor" (singular - Krona). 1897 was Oscar II's 25th Anniversary as King. That's a beautiful coin, and I've never seen a mount like that one. It appears to me that it might have been a brooch at some time. Peter in Oz edited to correct gremlin-induced typo.

D Pillar of the Community Canada 899 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 12:55 am Peter once again thanks for the information....the coin has aged nicely with natural patina. The brooch was made in 1898 so the coin was one year old when placed in it. The brooch is missing the pin on the back other wise it has the same patina as the coin..It is a bit of a fancy brooch in that the coin can swival around...If only I could find out the maker...

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 03/15/2011 05:52 am I have found the following information on Swedish assay marks The G stands for the town where the item was made Goteborg The 06 is the date letter equivalent to 1892 As far as the makers mark is concerned it seems to say PAP I have found a reference to makers marks in Sweden which shows marks only from 1913. However there is a P.A.Petterson from Goteborg who used the mark PAP so it is likely that this is the one. Hope this helps Report this Post to the Staff

Angielczyk Valued Member Israel 423 Posts	Posted 03/17/2011 12:54 pm On closer examination I think that you are right it is U6. U6 is 1898. Report this Post to the Staff
