The Riksbank (Sweden's central bank) decided in 2016 to renew the Swedish coin series, which consists of the denominations 1, 2, 5 and 10-krona. The 1, 2 and 5-krona coins have been given a new design, while the 10-krona coin remained unchanged.
Sun, wind and water – a popular song title by Swedish artist Ted Gärdestad – inspired designer Ernst Nordin when modelling the new coins.
