Comment
NOTE: This one and the other Daler SM coins minted during 1715-1719 were emergency coins struck during a period of hard economic crisis. Even if they bear the value of a daler they were strongly underweight (a daler in copper would have to weigh about 756 grams) that's why their minting ceased in 1719. However these emergency coins were used for a long time, before with value of 1 öre KM, and then of 1/12 skilling.Interesting fact
The Ulrika Eleonora (Hope) coin was minted during a time of great economic and political change in Sweden. The country was transitioning from a medieval society to a modern nation-state, and the coinage of the time reflects this shift. The 1 Daler Silvermynt was a new denomination introduced in 1719, and it featured a depiction of Queen Ulrika Eleonora on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. The coin was made of copper, which was a more affordable material than the silver used in previous coinage, and it was designed to be more accessible to the general population. Despite its humble materials, the Ulrika Eleonora coin remains a sought-after collector's item today, with some mintage variations selling for thousands of dollars.
