Comment
Even if this coin has King's first portrait type (armored bust) this portrait is different from those on Mark coins. The main difference is that the bust is more little and the legend i not divided by the bust, but is continuous above it. More the hair and drape folds are totally different as well as King's head.Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the ½ Riksdaler coin from Sweden is that it was minted during the reign of King Frederick I, who was the first king of the House of Oldenburg, a royal house that ruled Sweden from 1720 to 1818.
