Hortikulturens Vanner Goteborg 1874. Per Omne Fas Et Nefas. Ordd.R.Sveciae Violenter Fracti MDCCCLXV. (1865). Swedish. Bronze 33mm. Shipwreck? Storm? Engraver?
This seems to say HORTICULTURE FRIENDS GOTTENBURG 1874 (In fact a horticultural friends society did start in that year). DUE TO FATE AND MISFORTUNE THE SHIP SWEDEN WAS VIOLENTLY WRECKED 1865.

What the link is between the wreck and the society I do not know yet. Any help is appreciated.

If you look at the attachment and enlarge it, there appears to be life-rafts and debris in the water, as if the ship was trying to avoid being wrecked.

1865 was when royalty in Sweden gave up power (Oscar I became king of Sweden in 1844. In 1865 he agreed to constitutional reform). 1865, Sweden replaces the medieval four estates parliament (nobelty, priesthood, bourgoisie, peasants) with a modern two chamber parliament. Perhaps this is a symbolic "shipwreck of old Sweden"? Just a guess.
