This specimen was lot 58498 in Stack's Bowers NYINC sale (New York, January 2024), where it sold for $1,020. The catalog description<sup>[1]</sup> noted, "[[Sweden|SWEDEN]]. 1/2 Riksdaler, 1848-AG. Stockholm Mint. Oscar I. NGC MS-62." Collecting Swedish coins is complicated by the multiple currency reforms the country underwent during the period. In 1798, 48 ''skilling'' = 1 ''riksdaler species'' and 2 ''riksdaler species'' = 1 ''ducat'' (the [[Sweden 1827/6-CB ducat|ducat]] was a gold coin and the riksdaler species was 29.36 g, .878 fine silver). In 1830, 32 ''skilling banco'' = 1 ''riksdaler riksgald'' and 4 ''riksdaler riksgalds'' = 1 riksdaler species (the riksdaler species became 34 g, .750 fine silver). In 1855, the skilling was dropped and 100 ore = 4 riksdaler riksmynt = 1 riksdaler species (the riksdaler species remained unchanged). In 1873, the riksdaler species was dropped and 100 ore = 1 krona (the krona, at 7.5 g, 0.800 fine silver, was slightly smaller than the old riksdaler riksmynt). The system adopted in 1873 is still in use today, the Swedes having recently declined to adopt the euro. The 1848 half riksdaler is a slightly better date tho none are common. The type was struck 1845-48 and 1852.

''Recorded mintage:'' 74,000, including 1848/5 and 1848/7 overdates.

''Specification:'' 17 g, 0.750 fine silver.

''Catalog reference:'' KM-666.
