This specimen was lot 30290 in Heritage sale 3029 (New York, January 2014), where it sold for $15,275. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "Rare Swedish Possessions Issue Livonia-Latvia. Kristina of Sweden Taler 1639-HW, Riga mint, AU53 NGC. An attractive example of this Swedish possession issue with light gray toning and only a few small contact marks on the obverse. Kristina is portrayed in a lace collar, standing and facing left. Very rare grade for the type and a most popular Baltic Taler. Kristina was the daughter of Gustav II Adolf and reigned until 1654 when she abdicated in favor of Karl X Gustav. She rejected her Protestant upbringing and converted to Roman Catholicism, spending most of her final years in study in the Vatican in Rome, where she is buried. Ex: 'Colonel' E.H.R. Green; Green Estate' Partnership of Eric P Newman/B.G. Johnson." The Swedish rulers of [[Livonia]] (now [[Latvia]]) issued a variety of thalers for Riga in the seventeenth century, all rare.
