Comment
Struck with 1 Riksdaler dies (KM# 418).Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 10 Ducats - Frederick I (Type II) 1731 coin from Sweden is that it features a unique design element - a small crown on the obverse side, which was added to signify the king's title as the "King of Sweden and the Goths." This coin was minted during the reign of King Frederick I, who ruled Sweden from 1720 to 1751 and was known for his efforts to modernize the country's economy and military. The coin's design was created by the Swedish engraver, Gustaf Lundberg, and it is considered a rare and valuable collector's item among numismatists today.
