Riksbank issues commemorative coin to celebrate the King and Queen's 25th wedding anniversary
In connection with the King and Queen's 25th wedding anniversary on Tuesday 19 June, the Riksbank will issue a limited edition of a special 200-krona coin.
The coin is in silver and carries a portrait of King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia in profile on the front. The reverse of the coin bears the greater national coat of arms and beneath it the sign of the Order of the Seraphim.
For the first time since the 1740s, a foreign artist has been responsible for designing a Swedish coin. The artist is Philip Nathan, a well-known, prominent coin and medal engraver from Surrey, England. The coin is manufactured by the Royal Mint in Eskilstuna.
The coin has been presented to the King and Queen.
