Comment
Photos of the coin struck in gold:Interesting fact
The interesting fact about this coin is that it was minted to commemorate the coronation of Ulrika Eleonora, who was the first queen to rule Sweden in her own right, rather than being a consort to a king. She was a powerful and influential leader, known for her efforts to strengthen the Swedish economy and military, and her reign marked a significant turning point in Swedish history.
