Main groups of style
Reverse
Die A - top rays of the left star connects high.
Die B - stars have deep cut rays.
Die C - stars have bold rays connected far from center.
Combinations
A: 1976-1986, 1991 E U.
B: 1987-1990, 1991 E D, 1992-2007.
C: 2008, 2009.
Note. The style of dies indicates that the issue of 1991 E U was made with the die A of reverse, which most probably mean, that it was used by mistake, and not that the minting was under supervision of mint official Benkt Ulvfot.
Krause's "Standard Catalog of World Coins" makes a difference between coins minted 1976-1992 (KM# 853) and 1993-2009 (KM# 853a), but it is unclear on which grounds, as the Swedish Riksbank does not recognize any changes in composition.
