Interesting fact
The 1 Mark - Kristina (Type III-VIII) 1646-1648 coin from Sweden was minted during the reign of Queen Christina, who was a prominent figure in Swedish history. She was known for her strong personality and her efforts to modernize Sweden, including the introduction of a new coinage system. This coin, which features an image of the queen on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other, was part of that new system and was used widely throughout Sweden during her reign.
