Literature - Sti 178:42Interesting fact
One interesting fact about the 6 Öre Kopparmynt - Adolf Fredrik 1762-1765 coin from Sweden is that it was minted during a time of great economic and political change in the country. The coin was introduced in 1762, just a few years after Sweden had experienced a period of economic turmoil and political instability, including a famine that had ravaged the country in the early 1750s and a change in the monarchy in 1751. Despite these challenges, the coin was designed to be a symbol of stability and continuity, featuring an image of King Adolf Fredrik on one side and the Swedish coat of arms on the other. The coin's design and symbolism were meant to convey a sense of strength and resilience, and it remained in circulation for over a century, serving as a testament to Sweden's enduring spirit and determination.
