Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the Pattern 1⁄12 Riksdaler Specie - Carl XIV Johan (Pattern strike) 1829 from Sweden made of Silver is that it was designed by the Swedish engraver and artist, Erik Lindberg. Lindberg was a prominent artist and engraver in Sweden during the 19th century, and his work can be found on many Swedish coins and banknotes from that time period. The coin's design features a portrait of King Carl XIV Johan on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other, and it was minted in 1829 as a pattern strike, meaning it was not intended for circulation but rather as a trial or sample coin.
