| Aanvullende informatie |
Adolf Fredrik's reign saw Sweden's copper coinage caught between two competing monetary factions — the "Caps" and the "Hats" — whose decades-long parliamentary struggle over currency policy had already destabilized the riksdaler exchange rate well before this piece was struck. The 1768 date places it in the final years of his reign, a period of relative political exhaustion following the Hat party's collapse after the disastrous Pomeranian War.
Swedish plate money (plåtmynt) had long anchored the copper currency system, and the small öre denominations functioned as its fractional shadow — issued in quantity but frequently melted or restruck as policy shifted.
