| Aanvullende informatie |
Adolf Fredrik died in February 1771, reportedly while consuming his famously excessive Shrove Tuesday meal — making this 1770 issue one of the final coins struck under his reign. The Swedish daler silvermynt was already a denomination in decline by this point, with riksdaler coinage steadily displacing it in both commerce and official accounting throughout the latter half of the century.
Avesta, Sweden's sole operating mint for most of the early modern period, had struck plate money in copper for this same denomination a century earlier — slabs weighing several kilograms. The 1770 silver issue is a different world entirely.
