Comment
Coins with date 1828 and 1829 with plain edge are not a different variety but normal but weakly struck examples.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Riksdaler coin from Sweden is that it was minted during the reign of King Carl XIV Johan, who was also known as Charles John. He was the King of Sweden and Norway from 1818 until his death in 1844, and he played a significant role in the development of Sweden's monetary system during his reign. The coin's design features an image of the king on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other, symbolizing the country's rich history and cultural heritage.
