Interesting fact
The 1 Dalderi coin from the City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) made of Silver weighing 28.51 g has an interesting fact that it was minted during the reign of Christina, the Queen of Sweden, who was known for her unique approach to ruling. She was a patron of the arts and sciences, and her court was a center of culture and learning. Despite being a powerful ruler, she abdicated the throne in 1654 and converted to Catholicism, causing a stir in Protestant Sweden. This coin is a reminder of her impact on the history of the region.
