| Aversbeschreibung | Laureate and draped bust of Queen Christina of Sweden facing left, her hair elaborately dressed with pearls and flowing locks resting on her shoulder, rendered in high relief in the Italian Baroque manner. The bust is set within a beaded inner circle, with the royal legend arranged around the periphery reading CHRISTINA D G SVEC GOT VAND REG M P F E S C P T, identifying her as Queen of Sweden, Goths, and Vandals. The portrait is finely engraved with detailed drapery over the shoulder and a naturalistic treatment of the facial features. The field is smooth and unadorned, allowing the effigy to dominate the composition. |

Issued in the year the Peace of Westphalia's territorial settlements were being consolidated, this multiple ducat was struck in Bremen-Verden at a moment when Sweden's hold on the duchy was still diplomatically fresh — the peace had been signed only in 1648, formally ceding the territory to the Swedish crown. Christina, who abdicated four years later in 1654, authorized a series of prestige coinages from her German territories that functioned more as diplomatic currency than circulating money.
Ten-ducat pieces of this type were presentation strikes, almost certainly distributed at court rather than spent. Fr#439 survivors are rare in any condition.
