I'm curious about the composition of Swedish coins. Specifically, I want to know if they are made of silver. Is there any silver content in Swedish coins, or are they made of some other material?

Cupronickel, a copper-nickel alloy, replaced silver in the 10-öre, 25-öre, and 50-öre coins.

Meanwhile, the 1-krona coin also saw a change. It became cupronickel-clad copper, which meant it had a cupronickel outer layer and a copper core.

It switched from its previous composition to cupronickel, aligning it with the new standard for smaller denominations.
