| Aanvullende informatie |
Gustav II Adolf was crowned in October 1617, and this riksdaler was struck to mark the occasion — though the political circumstances surrounding it were anything but ceremonial. Sweden was simultaneously at war with Russia, Denmark, and Poland, and the young king had been managing military campaigns since age sixteen. The coronation itself had been delayed for years, partly due to the unresolved dynastic conflict with his Polish cousin Sigismund III Vasa, whose own claim to the Swedish throne had triggered decades of internal and external instability.
SM#81 and SM#82 represent two documented die variants of this issue, distinguished in the standard Swedish reference.
