Interesting fact
The 2 Ducats - Christina (2nd portrait) 1646 from City of Riga (Swedish Livonia) coin is interesting because it was minted during a unique historical period. The coin was minted in 1646, a time when the Swedish Empire was expanding its territories in the Baltic region, and the City of Riga was under Swedish rule. The coin's design, featuring Christina's second portrait, signifies the influence of Swedish culture and rule in the region during that time.
