Comment
Weight may vary.Interesting fact
The 1 Riksdaler - Kristina 1633 coin from Sweden features an interesting design element - the portrait of Queen Kristina, who ruled Sweden from 1632 to 1654, is depicted on the obverse (front) side of the coin, while the reverse (back) side features the coat of arms of Sweden. This design was a departure from the traditional design of coins during that time period, which typically featured the coat of arms on the obverse side and the monarch's portrait on the reverse. This unique design choice was likely made to emphasize Queen Kristina's importance and influence during her reign.
