Historical background
SWEDEN
(Nineteenth century)
The 19th century was marked in Sweden by a revival of the medal and the token. The greatest engraver of the 19th century was Léa Alhborn (1826-1895). She began to engrave in 1854 and was from 1860 until her death Sweden's most productive artist. She also engraved all the coins of the Kingdom of Sweden of Charles XV (1859-1872) and Oscar II (1872-1907).
