<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Seattlite86, post: 3306203, member: 59737&quot;]Found it!&nbsp; It&#039;s overstruck on a 1718 Daler, emergency money in Sweden.</p><p><a href="https://www.allnumis.com/coins-catalog/sweden/charles-xii-of-sweden-1697-1718/1-daler-1718-mercury-12717" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.allnumis.com/coins-catalog/sweden/charles-xii-of-sweden-1697-1718/1-daler-1718-mercury-12717" rel="nofollow">https://www.allnumis.com/coins-catalog/sweden/charles-xii-of-sweden-1697-1718/1-daler-1718-mercury-12717</a></p><p>Here&#039;s what Numista has to say on it:</p><p>NOTE: This one and the other Daler SM coins minted during 1715-1719 were emergency coins struck during a period of hard economic crisis. Even if they bear the value of a daler they were strongly underweight (a daler in copper would have to weigh about 756 grams) that&#039;s why their minting ceased in 1719. However these emergency coins were used for a long time, before with value of 1 öre KM, and then of 1/12 skilling.</p><p><br /></p><p>That tells me that the year of my coin is 1719 and it seems that it is rather common for the 1719 to be overstruck on the 1718.&nbsp; Here&#039;s an eBay link in case you want one of your own [USER=44615]@paddyman98[/USER]&nbsp; <a href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=sweden+1719+ore&amp;_sacat=0" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=sweden+1719+ore&amp;_sacat=0" rel="nofollow">https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&amp;_trksid=m570.l1313&amp;_nkw=sweden 1719 ore&amp;_sacat=0</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
