<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Bert Gedin, post: 3542720, member: 92556&quot;]Reply to The Eidolon. &quot;Description (online). Sweden 4 Daler Plate Money, 1740&#039;s (Fredrik I) 1,690 grams of copper. From Sweden, a 4 daler example of copper plate money. This one is 1,960 grams of solid copper. Since Sweden&#039;s plate money was typically melted down on it&#039;s destination over seas, the few that still exist are from a Danish Asiatic Company vessel, a shipwreck discovered March 1987. Sweden made such plate money between 1644 -1768. This one is from the found Nicobar Island shipwreck, attributed as wrecked on Juy 11th, 1783 on the south coast of Africa. This 4 daler shows a faint center denomination seal and a very clear dated crown corner seal, showing the date 174- but with the forth digit obscured. Crown matches Fredrik I of Sweden, who reigned from 1720 to 1751, confirming the date range of the 1740&#039;s.&quot; - This has been copied online, and I cannot guarantee that all is correct.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
