SWEDEN: AE medal, 1881, 31mm bronze medal by Adolf Lindberg for the Royal Wedding of Crown Prince Gustav and Victoria of Baden; GUSTAF VICTORIA around jugate busts facing right // FÖRENADE I KARLSRUHE D. 20 SEPT. 1881 around two flames conjoining above altar draped by garland, faint surface hairlines, lustrous fields, Unc. On 20 September 1881 in Karlsruhe Princess Victoria married Crown Prince Gustaf of Sweden and Norway, the son of King Oscar II of Sweden and Norway and Sofia of Nassau. The German emperor and empress were present at the wedding, and marriage was arranged as a sign that Sweden belonged to the German sphere of influence in Europe. The marriage was popular in Sweden, where she was called "The Vasa Princess" because of her descent from the old Vasa dynasty, and she received a very elaborate welcome on the official cortege into Stockholm 1 October 1881. On 1 February 1882, Victoria and Gustaf visited Oslo, where they were welcomed with a procession of 3,000 torch bearers.
