Interesting fact

The 1/24 Riksdaler coin from Sweden, minted during the reign of Gustav III (1778-1783), 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, which featured a more simplistic shield design, and was intended to symbolize the power and authority of the Swedish monarchy.
