Did you know?
This plate was worth a half daler, which was the standard unit of currency in Sweden in the 18th century.
Description
Some monetary denominations in Sweden were issued in large plates of copper and silver because the ores were plentiful. However, by the late 1770s these plates were considered too cumbersome, and consequently, Sweden began issuing some of Europe's first denominations in paper money.
