Aanvullende informatie

Gustav II Adolf died at the Battle of Lützen in November 1632, and coinage bearing his portrait continued to be struck posthumously for some years, complicating precise attribution of late issues. Type IV of this series reflects the final phase of production under his authority, with dies prepared at a moment when the Swedish war economy was operating at extraordinary strain — financing simultaneous campaigns across northern Germany required a constant outflow of bullion coinage to pay mercenary forces.

KM#140 is among the larger silver multiples of the period, and surviving examples almost always show uneven planchet preparation characteristic of the Stockholm mint under wartime pressure.
