Sweden 1712 daler

Ponterio sale 173, lot 1700

This specimen was lot 1700 in Ponterio sale 173 (New York, January 2013), where it sold for $999. The catalog description^[1] noted, "SWEDEN. Daler Plate Money, 1712. Carl XII (1697-1712). All stamps present if a bit uneven. All monograms and dates full and legible. VERY FINE." In the pre-reform Swedish coinage, 8 öre = one mark and 48 öre = one riksdaler. This type was issued 1710-15 for Carl XII and is rather scarcer than later issues. Millions were made but most were melted down to make other copper or bronze objects.

Recorded mintage: unknown.

Specification: copper.

Catalog reference: KM-PM35; AAH-176.
