Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ⅓ Riksdaler - Charles XIII (Coronation of Charles XIII) 1809 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change and upheaval in the country. The coin was issued in 1809, just a year after the Swedish King, Charles XIII, had been crowned. This was a significant event in Swedish history, as it marked the beginning of a new era of monarchical rule and the end of the old system of government. The coin's design, which features an image of Charles XIII, serves as a symbol of this transition and the start of a new chapter in Sweden's history.
