Interesting fact

The ½ Dalderi coin from the City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) made of Silver weighing 14.20 g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during the reign of Christina, the Queen of Sweden, who ruled from 1645 to 1648. This coin is a rare example of a coin that was minted during a short period of time, and it is a testament to the rich history of the region.
