Owner Comments:
The silver crown of Sweden was the riksdaler, first minted in 1604 and the basis of Swedish currency from 1777 - 1873, when it was replaced by the krona. This riksdaler is from the reign of Gustav III, the first neutral head of state to recognize the United States of America in 1782. The purchase of this coin was inspired by my enjoyment of the Swedish historic crime drama, Anno 1790.
From a Heritage World Weekly Auction in April of 2021.
