Interesting fact
The 1 Riksdaler coin commemorating the coronation of Gustav II Adolf in 1617 features an error in the inscription on the reverse side. The Latin inscription "Gustavus II Dei Gratia" was mistakenly engraved as "Gustavus II Dei Gratia XPS," with the added "XPS" likely being a mistake on the part of the engraver. This error has become a notable feature of the coin and is often highlighted by collectors and numismatists.
