Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern ½ Carolin - Charles XIV Johan (Pattern strike) ND (1830) from Sweden made of Gold is that it is a rare and highly sought-after coin among collectors. It is considered a "pattern" coin, meaning that it was struck as a trial or sample coin, and not intended for circulation. This particular coin is unique because it was struck in gold, whereas most Pattern ½ Carolin coins were made of silver. Additionally, the coin features an error in the inscription, with the name "Charles XIV" misspelled as "Carles XIV," making it even more rare and valuable to collectors.
