Additional information

Magnus IV (known as Magnus Eriksson) was deposed by his own son Eric in 1356, briefly restored, then definitively ousted when Albrecht of Mecklenburg seized the Swedish throne in 1363 — the very year this issue begins. These bracteates were struck during the terminal collapse of Magnus's reign, most likely as a final assertion of royal authority while Albrecht's forces consolidated control. Magnus spent his remaining years imprisoned at Three Crowns Castle until 1371.
