Interesting fact
The ½ Dalderi coin from the City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) made of Silver weighing 14.20g is an interesting piece of history because it was minted during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, who was the King of Sweden from 1629-1631. This coin is a rare example of the currency used during the Swedish occupation of Livonia, which is now part of modern-day Latvia and Estonia.
