ccg Posted March 28, 2012 Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 Interesting pieces! Were they made on circulation coin planchets, or are they a completely different size and thickness? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
constanius Posted March 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 28, 2012 32mm x 2mm & 14 grams, not sure how that compares to any of the swedish coinage at that time 1730's-1740's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
