This is a 10-Krona gold coin issued in AD 1901 by King Oscar II, who concurrently reigned over both Sweden and Norway. The obverse features a right-facing portrait of King Oscar II, surrounded by the Latin inscription “OSCAR II SVERIGES OCH NORGES KONUNG” (Oscar II, King of Sweden and Norway), which denotes his title. Below the portrait, the year “1901” is flanked by five-pointed stars on either side.

The reverse of the coin features the royal coat of arms of Sweden. On the lower left side, there is a mintmark from the Stockholm Mint, while on the lower right corner is the initials “E.B.,” representing the name of the supervising engraver, Emil Brusewitz. Along the upper edge, the Swedish inscription “BRÖDRAFOLKENS VÄL” (For the Welfare of Brother Peoples) reflects the motto of King Oscar II during his reign over Sweden and Norway. At the bottom, the denomination “10 KRONOR” is inscribed.

In AD 1814, following the end of the Napoleonic Wars, Norway was ceded to Sweden as compensation for Denmark’s defeat, forming a united kingdom under Swedish dominance. However, during the later years of King Oscar II’s reign, tensions between Norway and Sweden grew significantly. After multiple rounds of negotiations, Norway peacefully gained independence in AD 1905, and Oscar II renounced his claim to the Norwegian throne. He passed away in AD 1907.

這是一枚公元1901年，同時兼任瑞典和挪威國王的奧斯卡二世發行的10克朗金幣。錢幣正面為國王奧斯卡二世的右側肖像，周圍的拉丁銘文「OSCAR II SVERIGES OCH NORGES KONUNG」(奧斯卡二世 瑞典與挪威的國王)為其頭銜，人像下緣是兩側以五角星裝飾的年份「1901」。

錢幣背面為瑞典王室的家徽，家徽左下側有一個斯德哥爾摩造幣廠的戳記，右下角的「E.B.」則是時任監工的埃米爾·布魯塞維茲姓名戳記。外圍上緣的瑞典銘文「BRÖDRAFOLKENS VÄL」(兄弟人民的福祉)為奧斯卡二世擔任瑞典和挪威國王時期的格言，下緣則是面額「10 KRONOR」(10克朗)。

公元1814年，拿破崙戰爭結束之後，挪威作為戰敗國丹麥的賠償劃分給瑞典，自此挪威和瑞典兩國成為以後者為主導的聯合王國。然而在奧斯卡二世統治後期，挪威和瑞典兩地的分歧日益加大，最終在經過多次的協商談判下，挪威於公元1905年和平成為獨立的國家。奧斯卡二世也放棄其挪威的王位，並且於公元1907年逝世。
