Royal mottos of Swedish monarchs

The Royal motto of the Swedish monarch is a Swedish royal tradition stemming from the early 16th century. All regents of Sweden, beginning with Gustav Vasa, have had their own motto during their respective periods of reign. The Swedish royal motto is in many ways equivalent to a national motto. The tradition among Swedish monarchs, in common with the Danish and Norwegian monarchies but different from that of most other modern European monarchies, is that the motto is not the same for one dynasty, but is personal to the monarch. Historically the royal motto has been used in connection with the Swedish coat of arms, and it could until 30 June 2017 be seen printed on the 1 krona coin. The new generation of coins does not feature any motto.

Gustav III was the first king to have his motto only in Swedish. Up until Adolf Frederick, the motto for every regent had been in Latin and Swedish (or, as in the case of Gustav II Adolf, in German). Due to the dissolution of the union between Norway and Sweden in 1905, Oscar II had to change his motto.
