| Aanvullende informatie |
Sten Sture the Younger was not yet formally regent of Sweden when this heavy silver piece was struck — he assumed that office only in 1512, the same year of issue, following the death of Svante Sture the Younger. The coin was minted under urgent political circumstances: the Sture faction was locked in a prolonged struggle against the Danish-backed Archbishop Gustav Trolle and, behind him, King Christian II of Denmark. Hard silver coinage of this weight carried both economic and political weight in that contest.
Sture was fatally wounded at the Battle of Bogesund in January 1520, dying on the ice of Lake Mälaren before reaching Stockholm.
