thank you very much all
its a big piece 66mm and ex Bruun so neat provenance aswell. But the big slab I dont like feels like a ipad
She was an interesting person. She abdicated the Swedish crown 1654 and converted. Went on to live a playboy life in Rome with a court of followers
She actually was a big collector of coins and medals

Yes I also love the sun-image beatiful, its there to tell us about her divine authority and that her actions stands above us :) italy had very talented medalartists
alot of ot




she also made a medal with matchless written in greek, a wordplay in swedish as it also can mean without husband but also amazing, so it made a great conversationpiece and she could state that she was independent and didnt need a man.
Phoenix rising, not my medal sadly
