Did You Know?
This plate was worth two dalers, which was the standard unit of currency in Sweden in the 18th century.Description
Some monetary denominations in Sweden, such as the daler and its divisions, were issued in large plates of copper and silver because the ores were plentiful. However, by the late 1770's these plates were considered too cumbersome, and consequently, Sweden began issuing some of Europe's first denominations in paper money.- {{cite web|title=Swedish Plate Money (Two Daler)|url=false|author=|year=null|access-date=23 April 2024|publisher=Cleveland Museum of Art}}
