Peter THOMAS Pillar of the Community Australia 2830 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 04:47 am G'day, the "three crowns" symbol is a feature of Swedish heraldry. see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coat_o...ms_of_Sweden Peter in Oz Report this Post to the Staff
ribosome7 New Member United States 2 Posts	Posted 03/12/2009 05:52 am Thank you! It does indeed look like a Swedish 1/4 Ore, ~1635-1660. Report this Post to the Staff

Eero New Member Sweden 9 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 9:17 pm Chequer, thank you! Yea, I love this coin - the dark patina, the rich details and it's pretty well minted too (centered and no die rotation). Edited by Eero 03/27/2009 5:37 pm Report this Post to the Staff
DVCollector Bedrock of the Community United States 10045 Posts	Posted 03/26/2009 9:39 pm I agree--very nice coin and well-photographed. I'm unfamiliar with the motif on the shield--do you know about it? Thanks Report this Post to the Staff
Eero New Member Sweden 9 Posts	Posted 03/27/2009 06:51 am Thank you DVCollector! :) The wheat sheaf in the shield? I don't know, but I guess it has to do with harvest and is a symbol of wealthy. But I'm not sure. Report this Post to the Staff
