My apologies, the Stadsholmen island used to have a section named after the mint, which is how it is detirmed later where the mint was originally located.

I think the best way to do this is:

1. Take the current mint listing and change it to Stockholm (Stadsholmen)

2. Create the new mint Stockholm (Medieval) for the earlier mint.

This will minimize the number of edits to the mint field, as I count something like 50 early coins that will need to be edited to add the new mint.

Let me know if OK to proceed like this.

I'm not convinced of two mints.

Perhaps the mint changed from local coinage to the central mint of the new kingdom of sweden.

I am not sure our Guidelines are very explicit on this kind of question.

From an “institutional” viewpoint, if it is the royal or national mint and its location changes within Stockholm, we do not necessarily need to split it.  Many mints have changed location within a city over time.  For example, the United States mint in Philadelphia is in its 4th location since opening in 1792, but we treat it as a single mint.

On the other hand, if most numismatic references for Sweden consider these as two different mints, we can consider splitting them.

From an “institutional” viewpoint, if it is the royal or national mint and its location changes within Stockholm, we do not necessarily need to split it. 

In that case, the stockholm mint from 1523 could be merged with the Kungsholmen mint from 1850 as the “Royal Swedish Mint”

I will ask @Jarcek  also to take a look and give an opinion.  

If I understand correctly, we have the Swedish Royal Mint having operated at three different locations in what is currently Stockholm, and the question is whether we just list one mint or three.
