Interesting fact
The Gustav III 1777 Swedish Riksdaler coin features an interesting design element - a crowned shield with the coat of arms of Sweden, surrounded by a wreath of laurel leaves. This design was a departure from the previous coinage designs of the time, which typically featured the ruler's portrait. This design change was a deliberate choice made by Gustav III himself, who wanted to emphasize the importance of the Swedish state and its symbols, rather than his own personal image. This coin is a testament to the king's vision and his efforts to promote a strong national identity for Sweden.
