2 Öre 1901 Oskar II

This is a 2 Öre from 1901. The item features the inscription "BRODRAFOLKENS VAL" and the monogram of Oskar II.

Curated Swedish 2 öre coin dated 1901, issued under King Oscar II of Sweden, representing a classic late 19th to early 20th-century Scandinavian bronze minor denomination from the Kingdom of Sweden. The coin is clearly identified on the holder as “2 öre 1901 Oscar II,” and the reverse displays the denomination 2 ÖRE above the date 1901 with the Swedish three crowns emblem below. The obverse shows the crowned royal monogram and the inscription BRÖDRAFOLKENS VÄL, a motto associated with the union period between Sweden and Norway under Oscar II. This makes the coin a historically meaningful example of Swedish-Norwegian union-era coinage and a desirable piece for collectors of Nordic copper and bronze coinage.

The 1901 Swedish 2 öre belongs to the decimal öre monetary system that replaced the older skilling denominations in Sweden during the 19th century. It was produced during Oscar II’s reign, a period that included the final years of the union between Sweden and Norway before its dissolution in 1905. The coin’s design, with the royal monogram, crown, national three crowns symbol and Swedish-language motto, connects it directly to Swedish monarchy, Scandinavian political history and everyday small-change circulation at the turn of the 20th century. The date 1901 places the coin in the late union period, making it relevant to collectors focused on pre-1905 Swedish and Norwegian historical context.

The coin shows a brown bronze surface with even circulation wear, visible denomination, legible date and readable obverse inscription. Details remain identifiable, including the 2 ÖRE reverse, the small three crowns below the date and the crowned monogram on the obverse. The piece is housed in a stapled cardboard 2x2 holder with handwritten collector attribution and the note “OM 1976,” suggesting older collection handling or cataloguing. The presentation gives the coin added cabinet appeal for collectors who value older storage, handwritten identification and provenance-style context.

This curated Swedish Oscar II 2 öre coin is suitable for a Swedish type collection, Nordic monarchy collection, Scandinavian bronze coin collection, world coin album, 19th and early 20th-century European minor coin grouping or a specialized study of Sweden’s decimal öre issues. Its connection to Oscar II, the Swedish three crowns, the union motto BRÖDRAFOLKENS VÄL and the year 1901 gives it stronger historical appeal than a simple denomination coin. The coin is also relevant for collectors interested in the transition between 19th-century royal European coinage and modern 20th-century national currency systems.
