About the Swedish 20 kronor gold coin
- 900 fine, 8.96 grams total, 8.06 grams of pure gold.

The 20 kronor coin is the gold coin most Swedish households actually own, usually inherited. It is the natural starting point when you want to know what an old family coin is worth.
Most years are common and trade near gold value. Low mintage years and coins in uncirculated condition are worth clearly more, so have the coin looked at by a numismatist before selling it as scrap.
Danish and Norwegian 20 kroner coins are the same standard and contain the same 8.06 grams of pure gold.
Premium is the only thing you negotiate
The gold content is fixed, so the price of a 20 kronor is the gold value plus a premium. Today the gold in the coin is worth 10,260 SEK; a dealer typically asks 4–10 % over gold value and pays gold value to gold value +5 % when buying it back.
VAT and investment gold
Bullion coins minted after 1800, at least 900 fine and traded near their gold value are classed as investment gold and are exempt from VAT throughout the EU, including Sweden.
