Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 1777 Gustav III 1/24 Riksdaler / 4 Öre SM coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great change and reform in Sweden. Gustav III, who ruled Sweden from 1771 to 1792, implemented a number of reforms aimed at modernizing the country, including the introduction of a new coinage system. The 1/24 Riksdaler / 4 Öre coin was part of this new system and was designed to be more durable and harder to counterfeit than previous coins. The use of Billon, a copper and silver alloy, was a common practice during this time period, as it was more durable than copper alone and less expensive than pure silver. Despite the changes, the coin still features the traditional design of the Swedish coat of arms on one side and the denomination on the other.
