This specimen was lot 678 in Sedwick Treasure Auction 35 (Winter Park, FL, May 2024), where it sold for $390. The catalog description[1] noted, "SWEDEN, Avesta mint, copper 1 daler "plate money", Fredrik I, 1720. Perfectly square and mostly intact despite some corrosion (especially on edge), still with all five stamps full and clear, even light brown color, always a popular shipwreck item. With original certificate from the salvor/conservator. Recovered from: Nicobar, sunk in 1783 off South Africa." In the pre-reform Swedish coinage, 8 öre = 1 mark and 96 öre = 1 riksdaler. The SCWC lists these as made from "cannon bronze" whereas they are almost certainly made from commercially pure copper. Altho some did circulate as coin, most were exported and melted down to make other brass or bronze objects, which is why they are scarce today. This variety, bearing the stamps of Frederick I, was made 1720-50.
Recorded mintage: unknown.
