Comment
The type of the coin where date is not visible:Interesting fact
The ½ Riksdaler coin commemorating the coronation of Maria Eleonora in 1620 features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "MARIA ELEONORA DEI GRATIA SVECIAE REGINA" incorrectly spells "SVECIAE" instead of "SUECIAE," which refers to Sweden in Latin. This error was not corrected, and the coin was still circulated, making it a unique and interesting piece of numismatic history.
