Nationalmuseum has acquired a unique gold box bearing a portrait by the court enameller, Johan Georg Henrichsen, of King Gustav III. The box was given by the king as a gift to John Mackenzie, a Scottish officer, when he retired from the Swedish army in 1778. Very few such tokens of royal favour have survived intact, which is what makes this gold box unique.

That style was used up until the accession of Carl XVI Gustaf of Sweden in 1973,I believe the Danish Monarchs used a similar one up until Queen Margrethe II's accession.
