Swedish Euro Pattern Coins
De-Luxe Plush case containing 9 coins 1 cent - 5 Euros

Sweden will presumably join the Euro, by which time the European Union will probably have extended to 25 countries. It is not known whether any official plans have been made to produce pattern designs for a set of Swedish euro coins. It is likely that if any designs have already been considered, they will have been kept top secret for political reasons. Meanwhile a privately produced pattern set has been produced.

On a number of previous occasions, especially before major coinage changes, pattern coins have been produced as a design exercise or to test public opinion. Many of these have been privately produced. A privately produced pattern set of British euro coins has already been produced, and met with intense demand, despite almost negligible marketing. Original priced at around Euros40, these have changed hands for over Euros250 on e-bay.
