In this video I will tell you about 50 Most Expensive Swedish Coins. These include Old Rare and Modern Coins from Sweden. The sovereigns of the Scandinavian kingdoms began to mint "national" coins about 1000 AD. Initially, a significant coinage system could only develop in Denmark, however. In Sweden and Norway, the minting of coins was soon given up again. Sweden resumed coinage after the middle of the 12th century. The pennings (pennies) issued then were so thin and fragile that they could not have played a significant role in economy; notwithstanding over the following decades, they slowly but surely became objects of daily use even in northern Scandinavia. It took another century before the Swedish economy developed a need for multiple pennings. These so called ortugar (singular: ortug) remained the major Swedish coins until the alliance with Denmark in the
Kalmar Union in 1397. From then on, Swedish coins were minted in the name of the Danish kings. When Sweden became independent under Gustav I Vasa in 1523, a regular monetary system was developed. Gustav introduced the mark as currency and had the first ore and daler struck, modeled on
the German thaler. In my video I have given brief features of each coin.
