Largesse money for the king's coronation 1607.Interesting fact
The ½ Riksdaler coin from Sweden, minted in 1607 during the reign of Karl IX, is interesting because it was made of silver, which was a valuable and sought-after metal at the time. The coin's weight of 13.72 grams is also notable, as it was a significant amount for a coin of its size and denomination. Additionally, the fact that it was a standard circulation coin means that it was widely used and circulated among the population, making it a piece of history that has been passed down through the ages.
