| Additional information |
Gustav IV Adolf's reign ended in humiliation — deposed by coup in 1809 after Sweden's catastrophic loss of Finland to Russia, a territorial wound the country never recovered. The 1804 ducats were struck just five years before that collapse, at a moment when royal finances were already strained by the Napoleonic wars reshaping the continent around him. The "Dalarna" designation distinguishes issues struck from gold sourced specifically from the Falun copper and gold mining region, a attribution that carries genuine provenance weight rather than mere mint accounting.
The third portrait designation reflects a documented obverse die change during his reign, not a separate issue.
