Interesting fact
The ¼ Riksdaler coin commemorating the coronation of Gustav II Adolf in 1617 is interesting because it features a unique design element - a depiction of the king on horseback, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was meant to symbolize the king's military prowess and his role as a powerful leader. Additionally, the coin's silver content and relatively low weight make it a valuable collector's item for numismatists.
