I live in Sweden where .4 silver one krona coins continue to circulate and as such these accumulate that level of wear rather than it being a weak strike. Here is a photo of one in better condition. As can be seen the imprint to begin with is not strong.
As you may be aware that 1967 and before 1 krona coins are .4 silver (and previous to that were .8 silver). To identify the ones that are nickel clad copper without silver and minted 1968-1973 one can see a copper line around the middle of the rim.
There are 1968 coins both with and without silver but one just checks for the line to distinguish them.
Or if one has good eyes as I do one can see them apart without checking the rim!
