| Aanvullende informatie |
Riga's dalderi issues of the 1640s reflect the city's ambiguous political position: nominally under Swedish crown authority following the 1621 conquest, yet still operating its own municipal mint and issuing coins on the strength of longstanding civic privileges. Christina's second portrait on this type marks a mid-series die revision, distinguished by the reduced lettering — a detail that separates it from the more commonly encountered first portrait issues and accounts for the distinct reference numbers across Ahlström, Haljak, and Neumann.
Christina was 17 years old when this piece was struck, still four years from formally assuming sole rule after her regency ended in 1644.
