Comment
Coin struck for circulation in Germany.Interesting fact
The 1 Kreuzer coin from Sweden, minted in 1632 during the reign of Gustav II Adolf, was made of copper and features an interesting design element - a stylized portrait of the king on the obverse (front side), surrounded by a wreath of leaves and flowers. This design was a departure from the more traditional depiction of royalty on coins, which typically featured a more formal and serious portrait of the king. The use of a more relaxed and naturalistic design on the 1 Kreuzer coin was seen as a way to showcase the king's friendly and approachable nature, and was a nod to the artistic styles of the Renaissance period.
