<p>[QUOTE=&quot;talerman, post: 4440171, member: 89314&quot;]Here is an interesting little coin from the time of the Swedish intervention in the 30 Years&#039; War.&nbsp; They were perpetually short of money but had large copper mines and struck plenty of copper coins in Sweden. (Of course, this ended up with the production of the huge copper plate money). They had the idea of striking copper Kreuzer for the use of their troops in Germany. Unfortunately, the Germans preferred their silver Kreuzer and would not accept the coins. The plan failed and the coins were largely melted down.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>SWEDEN&nbsp; Gustav II Adolf&nbsp; Kreuzer 1632</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1110296[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1110297[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
