Quote: "Oklahoman"Are those different than the G differentiations that have already been listed in the comments?
The comments and picture appear to be about the large and small of 1937.
The 1936 just has 2 options one for G and one for "Broken G" with no real way to figure out what you have.
Did you ever find this out? I have a similar (though more worn) one that also has that break in the upper part of the mintmark G and Im trying to also figure out if this is what is referred to with that extra entry.
Yeah, the picture un Myntboken isn't the best either. I, according to my Numista collection, have a 1937 with broken G, so I could see if I can find it. I have 4 of the 1937, and 69 coins in total of this typ, so I need to motivate myself to find it. 😅
Here's the not so helpful picture from Myntboken 2012 (not sure if it's been uodated in newer editions):

Holy smokes, “not so helpful” is the understatement of the year XD

I took a look at my coins, and I'm happy to show you a really “broken” G, which I had without having ever noticed it! Now I just miss the “normal” G coin in my collection. (In my graphic, I took the normal “G” from my 1938 coin!).

Excellent! That is exactly how I imagined the broken G to look like.
Isn't it fun when you think you only have the “normal” coins, but it then turns out all your coins are varieties and you don't even have the “normal” one? 😆

This for another coin was hiding in plain sight. Both pages should link to the other.
Completely out of topic but Ole, I have some very bad news. I see Gijs Vlothuizen is one of the co-author's on this documentation. Unfortunately I have to inform you Gijs passed away last August. I knew him personally and he was an amazing guy. He had connections all over the world and he was my source for brand new world coins (he sold coins on coin fairs). He also provided a lot of coin pictures here on Numista (username: Iwantallcoins). He passed away much too young after a medical problem.

I'm sorry to hear that, as you might have seen, we worked together a lot on variants, and honestly I wondered, what happened to him, unfortunately I know now😢 RIP, Gijs.
Ah, I gave it another thought and realise you must mean Myntårsboken. Sorry!
Yes, that's the one, my mistake.
No worries! It's easy to confuse the dots and rings on the letters.
Roberto Delzanno is very knowledgable and I bought several coins from him. He has also sent me copies of his books of Swedish coins to me as gifts at two separate occasions. He's a very kind man.
