Örtug, Åbo, Kristoffer av Bayern, 1441–1448

This coin is very rare. On the obverse (front) is a shield with three crowns on a small cross, and on the reverse (back) we see the letter K with an inverted and crowned A at the side. K stands for King Kristoffer of Bavaria, who had the coin issued. The A stands for Turku (Åbo), where the coin was made and which was part of Sweden at the time. The inscription reads KRISTOFER REX S (Kristoffer, King of Sweden) and Honeta aboensi.
