1 daler silvermynt, Stockholm, Ulrika Eleonora, 1719
The coin being the inscription Hoppet (Hope) and the year 1719 was the last token to leave the Stockholm mint. A woman stands with clasped hands, an anchor behind her feet. The denomination is shown inside a decorated circle, with two opposing hearts. Faith, hope and love.
Although more emergency coins – or tokens, as they were officially referred to – were planned, this was the last one.
Engraver: Johann Carl Hedlinger. The Stockholm mint.
