Kungliga Myntet, Listed building complex in Kungsholmen, Sweden

Kungliga Myntet is a block and building complex at Hantverkargatan 5 on Kungsholmen, rebuilt after 1847 to designs by Johan Fredrik Åbom on the site of Samuel Owen's mechanical workshop and shipyard. The mint operated here from 1850 until 1974, when coin production moved to Eskilstuna.

The site was occupied by Samuel Owen's mechanical workshop and shipyard, founded in 1809 and sold to the Crown in 1847. The buildings were rebuilt to Johan Fredrik Åbom's designs, and the Royal Mint moved in three years later, in 1850. It was Sweden's only mint until production moved to Eskilstuna in 1974, when the coin mark changed from St. Erik's head to Tre kronor.

The name Kungliga Myntet, the Royal Mint, comes from the coin production that ran here from 1850 to 1974. When minting moved to Eskilstuna, the mint mark changed from Saint Erik's head to the Three Crowns. Tenants since then have included Statens konstråd and Regionmusiken.

Kungliga Myntet occupies the block at Hantverkargatan 5 on Kungsholmen, with the Samuel Owens street running alongside. The complex is seen from the street; since 2008 Statens fastighetsverk manages it and the former mint halls are rented out, so interiors are not open to visitors. Approach on foot from Fridhemsplan or the City Hall area.

The two surviving late-1700s buildings stand by Samuel Owens gata, on the plot that once held Samuel Owen's mechanical workshop and shipyard, founded in 1809 and sold to the Crown in 1847. Owen, an Englishman called the father of Swedish engineering industry, ran a foundry and workshop here before the mint moved in.
