| Beschrijving voorzijde | Uncrowned effigy of Queen Christina facing left, depicted with flowing long hair, set within an inner circle. The portrait is rendered in a formal baroque style characteristic of mid-17th century Swedish coinage. An abbreviated Latin legend encircling the bust appears in the outer field, running along the coin's periphery. The inscription identifies the queen by her titles as ruler of Sweden, the Goths, and the Wends, as well as hereditary princess. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Christina inherited the Swedish throne at age six following Gustav II Adolf's death at Lützen in 1632, ruling initially under a regency council dominated by Axel Oxenstierna. By the time this coin was struck, she held power in her own right and Sweden was navigating the final years of the Thirty Years' War — a conflict that had strained the treasury severely enough that copper plate money, the infamous "plåtmynt," had been introduced years earlier as a practical necessity.
The SM#3 designation reflects its position as one of the earliest riksdaler multiples in the Swedish series. Christina abdicated in 1654, converted to Catholicism, and left for Rome — an abdication that shocked Protestant Europe and abruptly ended this coinage type.
