1 skilling, Stockholm, Gustav IV Adolf, 1805

In 1802, the minting of skilling coins started, both in Stockholm and in Avesta. In Avesta, the skillings were struck on new blanks, while in Stockholm old 2 and 1 öre coins were reused. On the coin on display, it can clearly be seen that the 1 skilling was struck on an old 2 öre coin.
