This specimen was lot 5119 in Künker sale 441 (Osnabrück, March 2026), where it sold for €800 (about US$1,101 including buyer's fees).

(kingdom of [[Sweden]], Frederick I, 1720-51, half daler copper plate of 1754, Avesta mint. Very fine.)"</blockquote> In the pre-reform Swedish coinage, 8 öre = one mark and 96 öre = one riksdaler.

Large numbers have been recovered from wrecks.
