This piece is a 1/4 ore of Queen Christina of Sweden, she was queen from 1632-1654, and abdicated the throne and became a nun and subsequently moved to Rome.

This is actually a pretty nice example of this coin, these are usually not quite so nice, but it does have fairly old cleaning and has retoned about 75%. This piece is worth approximately €50.

This piece is an ore coin from the reign of Charles XII, or Karl XII(1697-1718), he was King of Sweden that fought so valiantly against Petr I(1689-1725) of Russia during the Great Northern War of 1700-1720. This is a regular issue coin as opposed to the emergency token coinage, and is rather unusual because of that fact. I would give a rough estimate of value on this piece at approximately €15.00

This would make an interesting addition to a Peter I collection, considering the historical importance of the Great Northern War to Peter's reign. bthumbsup.gif

Actually I myself have several coins from the Swedish side, under Karl XII, but only one Petrine coin, a denga from 1714.

Great stuff!

Someday, I would like to get a small Swedish plate for my collection. Plate money is one of the most interesting series in world coinage.

I really want a Russian plate, I could have bought one in Russia, but would have never gotten it out of the country cry.gif

Chances are it would not have been real. There are lots of fakes around. sad.gif

Real Russian plate money is now priced to the moon. Even a fake recently sold for about $375 hammer price, then the juice & VAT on top of that --- for a FORGERY!! shok.gif
