Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Daler Silvermynt - Adolf Fredrik 1751-1768 from Sweden is that it was made of bronze, specifically cannon bronze, which was a common material used for coins during that time period. Cannon bronze is a type of alloy that consists of approximately 85% copper and 15% tin, and it was prized for its durability and resistance to corrosion. The use of bronze for coins was a deliberate choice, as it was a more affordable alternative to silver and gold, while still maintaining a level of durability and quality. The fact that this coin was made of bronze highlights the resourcefulness and practicality of the Swedish mint during this time period.
