Interesting fact
The ½ Daler Silvermynt was a coin used in Sweden during the 18th century, and it features an image of King Frederick I on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. What's interesting about this coin is that it was made of copper, which was a common material for coins at the time, but it was also known for being quite large, with a diameter of 378 g. This made it a popular choice for trading and commerce, as it was easily recognizable and had a high value. Despite its size, the coin was still widely used and circulated throughout Sweden during Frederick I's reign, and it remains a valuable collector's item to this day.
