Interesting fact
The 1½ Riksdaler - Kristina (8 Mark) 1649 coin was minted during the reign of Queen Christina of Sweden, who was known for her unusual and progressive policies. One of her most notable reforms was the introduction of a new coinage system, which replaced the old system based on the Swedish daler with a new system based on the riksdaler. The 1½ Riksdaler - Kristina (8 Mark) 1649 coin was part of this new system and was minted in silver. It features an image of Queen Christina on one side and the coat of arms of Sweden on the other. This coin is considered a rare and valuable collector's item today, with some examples selling for thousands of dollars at auction.
