Interesting fact
This coin was designed by the Swedish engraver, Gustaf Lundberg, and features a portrait of King Frederick I on the obverse side, while the reverse side depicts the Swedish coat of arms. What makes this coin particularly interesting is that it was never officially released into circulation, but instead was produced as a pattern strike, meaning it was created as a trial or sample coin to test the design and production process. As a result, only a small number of these coins were minted, making them highly sought after by collectors today.
