Comment
Minted probably to commemorate the King's visit in Hesse-Kassel.
This coin is only apparently similar with km# 402, but looking carefully is clearly totally different. In obverse the legend is longer and the portraits are different (in this coin King's bust is not in full armor but looks more like 2nd portrait style) reverse have a lot of difference but the more visible is the base of supporters with cartouche inside.
Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1 Riksdaler coin from Sweden, minted in 1731, is that it features a unique double portrait of King Frederick I and his wife, Queen Ulrika Eleonora, on its obverse side. This distinctive design was a departure from the traditional single-portrait design commonly used on coins at the time, and it signifies the importance of the royal couple's partnership and shared rule.
