As I have mentioned before, some low denominations of Swedish coins were struck in iron during the first and second World War. Here are 4 quite unusual error coins in iron.
The first one is a 5 Ore from 1918 with a full brockage strike. As You see it is in a high quality. I only knew of one more 5 Ore full brockage coin from Gustav V (he was King between 1909-1950). Strangely it is from the same year 1918.
The second error is a 1 krona from 1943 which was struck on a 2 ore planchet. Very rare.
The third is a 2 ore from 1950 with an indent from a 1 ore planchet also with the struck coin separate.
The last error is a 5 ore coin from 1947 with a partial indent and multiple strikes.
