Tim Stroud Pillar of the Community United States 2661 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 12:31 pm Man I am stumped. I searched the World coin gallery database an came up empty handed. I do believe it is a coin of some sort. I can't make out the date from the pics. Are you able to tell what the date is? Report this Post to the Staff
bart Pillar of the Community Belgium 651 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 12:36 pm Chrisild is right: 1 ore from Sweden, with the monogram of king Adolf Frederik, who was king of Sweden 1751-1771. This type was struck during the following years: 1751, 1758, 1759, 1760, 1761, 1763 and 1768. The 3 crowns around the royal monogram are a giveaway for Sweden. Report this Post to the Staff
chrisild Pillar of the Community Germany 1238 Posts	Posted 07/04/2010 12:43 pm Here is an image of that coin type: http://www.tonysmynt.se/adolffredrik.html Scroll down to "1 öre SM, 1763, Avesta". By the way, Sweden had two currency systems, sort of, back then - one was silver based, one was copper based. The "SM" on your piece indicates it was silver based (the coin itself is not silver); the copper based type would say "KM" instead. Christian Report this Post to the Staff

Any estimated value in such rough condition?Found it funny that the king the coin was minted under died after a large meal of lobster,caviar,sauerkraut,kippers,champagne and 14 servings of a pastry served in milk. Also funny that the copper coins marked S.M. only held 1/3rd of their instructed value in practice. Edited by maz91379 07/04/2010 1:59 pm Report this Post to the Staff
