Comment
Weight varies.Interesting fact
The ½ Riksdaler - Kristina (Type I) coin from Sweden, minted between 1639 and 1641, features an interesting error on some of the coins. The error, known as the "Kristina error," shows the queen's name "Kristina" spelled incorrectly as "Kirstina" on some of the coins. This error has become a sought-after feature among collectors, making the coin even more valuable and unique.
